THREE LOST SHEEP. TWO BROKEN FAMILIES. ONE BLIZZARD.

After Chase Williams' first wife died of pneumonia while he was out-of-town, his young daughter stopped speaking. Three years later, he's still not ready to marry, but little Pearl desperately needs a mother. He doubts that any woman can heal his broken heart, but he's willing to propose to a woman who'll be kind to Pearl.

As the oldest of six children, Bridget Doyle became responsible for the cooking and cleaning when her mother died of a post-partum fever. Marrying's not an option for her--if she leaves her two youngest siblings alone, who will stop their drunken father from taking the belt to them?

Bridget discovers that her youngest brother, Tom, has been playing matchmaker: he's been writing letters on her behalf to a rancher in Wyoming. Not only has Chase proposed, he's agree to let her bring Tom and Mary with her. The catch--she's also got to find a way to communicate with his mute daughter Pearl, while playing second fiddle to the ghost of Chase's first wife.

Will Bridget find a way to heal Chase's broken heart and bring two fragmented families together?
