It is August of 1862 and sixteen-year-old Frances "Frankie" Blaine learns that her beau, Patrick, will be enlisting in the Army. In the flush of first love, Frankie wants to be by his side. She also wonders why she can't enlist and fight in the war too. Since no one seems able to give her a rational explanation other than that she can't because she is a girl, Frankie comes up with a plan. But it backfires and thrusts her into a world that she didn't expect and from which she learns some large lessons.
Sometimes miracles happen when you expect them least but need them most. It is Christmas Eve of 1863. As a snow storm howls out-side, Maggie and her family care for their three youngest members, all of whom are seriously ill. A knock at the door brings an unanticipated interruption in the form of an odd little peddler. Despite her anxiety over the children, Maggie invites the stranger in and feeds him supper, an act of kindness that has an impact on her entire family.
In this gentle prequel to the Saint Maggie Series, widow Maggie Blaine has scant joy in Christmas of 1852. Having lost her husband nearly three years earlier and her much-loved Aunt Letty that year, she struggles to maintain the boarding house and feed and care for those who live in it. Finally, she hires a woman named Emily Johnson to help her. Even though Maggie is white and Emily is black, the two women become friends. When Emily and her husband Nate suffer a disaster, the financially-challenged Maggie decides help them at the expense of Christmas dinner and her beloved Dundee cake.
Maggie Blaine, a good-hearted widow with two teenage daughters, runs a rooming house smack dab on the town square of Blaineton, New Jersey. In 1860, boarding houses are only semi-respectable, and that alone would make her a social outcast. But her house has a collection of eclectic boarders, as well as Emily and Nate Johnson, an African American couple with whom she shares her home, life, and chores. Despite her low place in society, Maggie has the one thing the congregation of her Methodist church badly needs: a room in which to house the new minister, since the parsonage has burned down. When she is asked to house the Rev Jeremiah Madison, Maggie feels as if things are looking up. She hopes that the handsome, gifted pastor not only will revive her little church but also provide her boarding house with some badly needed respectability. However, Jeremiah comes with secrets that eventually lead to disturbing complications. As the town reels from a series of shocking events, the compassionate, faithful Maggie searches to find forgiveness and to learn the truth. (The story is based on a historical event.)
