Christmas at Cedar Hill: A Holiday Story-Book
1869
Christmas at Cedar Hill opens on a winter's day in the 1860s, with a small party of children boarding a train at Greenbrier station. At its heart is Agatha Bower, a timid girl still in mourning, who longs only for the warmth of home and family at Riverton. Her companions the boys Frank, Herbert, and Edward rely on the confident but overconfident Frank to see them safely to their destination. When Frank's certainty proves misplaced and the children find themselves on the wrong train, hurtling into a landscape transformed by falling snow, their holiday journey becomes something quite different: a test of courage, resourcefulness, and trust. Lost and afraid in the deepening cold, they must place their faith in strangers, including a kindly clergyman who offers shelter for the night. This is gentle adventure fiction from another era, where a wrong turn becomes an opportunity for growth, where the strangers we meet may become friends, and where the Christmas spirit is hard-won rather than simply given.
