Mabel Martin’s parents have given her two choices—become the mail order bride to a Mr. James Carter in California, or give up her inheritance and live in poverty in her hometown. So soon, she is on train headed west, to a dusty little town in Arizona. Mabel is accustomed to a life of privilege and wealth, and is not all at happy with the weather-beaten farmhouse and lack of luxury. James Carter has made a fortune in the silver mines, but he prefers a simple life. A kind and intelligent man, he is known for his generous nature, and is loved by the town. But when James announces a Christmas party to help welcome Mabel to town, she is not pleased. What kind of party can they have out here, in the desert, with a group of strangers in the house? But the holiday spirit can find us, wherever we are. And sometimes, so can love.
