A mother's gift
(Large Print)

Marrying widower Jude Shetler is a dream come true for Leah Otto. As a young girl, she was captivated by his good looks and talent as an auctioneer. Now, other men may not appreciate her tomboy ways, but Jude values Leah's practical nature and her skill with the animals she tends, and both enter the marriage with joy and optimism. Three months later, Leah feels as if her world is coming down around her. Her twin teenage step-daughters, Alice and Adeline, are pushing boundaries and taking far too many risks, while five-year-old Stevie deeply misses his mother. Leah, more at ease in a barn tending her goats and chickens than in a kitchen, struggles with her housekeeping duties. Then a baby is abandoned on their doorstep. Will caring for little Betsy give her the renewed purpose and strength to begin pulling her family together?
