The Christmas Foundling
(2025)(A book in the Mail Order Brides of Montana series)
A Story by Susannah Calloway
When a mail-order bride finds an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve, three broken hearts discover the true meaning of family.
Alice Brown arrives in Pine Ridge, Montana on Christmas Eve 1882, ready to marry rancher Benjamin Carpenter in a practical arrangement that promises safety and security. But Benjamin is a man haunted by tragedy—still grieving the wife and child he lost two years ago, too afraid of heartbreak to let anyone close.
Their wedding day takes an unexpected turn when Alice discovers a tiny baby abandoned on the church steps in the middle of a snowstorm. Despite Benjamin's desperate protests, Alice refuses to let little Hope freeze or be given away to strangers. As she fights to save the foundling's life, Alice must also battle for her husband's wounded heart.
But when Benjamin's wayward brother Daniel arrives with dangerous men and a shocking claim—that Hope is his daughter and he intends to sell her to pay his gambling debts—Alice and Benjamin must choose between safety and love, between protecting themselves and fighting for their family.
Set against the harsh beauty of the Montana frontier, The Christmas Foundling is a story of second chances and Christmas miracles, where three lost souls discover that the strongest families are built not on blood, but on the courage to love again.
Sometimes the greatest gifts come in the smallest packages—and sometimes a baby's cry on Christmas Eve can heal even the most broken heart.
