Books like Colonial Christmas Brides by Lauralee Bliss

*Jamestown's Bride Ship* follows Susanna, a traveler awaiting her return to England, whose chance meeting with a compassionate soldier at the Jamestown stockade changes her plans and leads her to a new life in the colony. *Angel of Jamestown* tells the story of Paul Dodson, a blacksmith burned out by a recent rebellion. As he seeks justice, miraculous gifts of clothes, books, and tools appear, forcing him to confront faith, forgiveness, and the possibility of a destined bride. *Raven's Christmas* centers on Raven Maury, a young woman bound to marry an elderly man. When the singing voice of Andrew Faulkner at Bruton Parish Church revives her spirit, Raven defies the bartered arrangements of a Christmas bride. *Broken Hearts* depicts widowed Mary Farthington who seeks comfort in a new Christmas doll crafted by carpenter John Maxwell. As love may begin, Mary's discovery of a hidden secret about her husband’s death tests her capacity for forgiveness and new beginnings.
