In the first story, Vaughn Kyle finds himself in Bufflalo Valley, North Dakota for two reasons. First is to visit an elderly friend of the family who holds a special place in his heart and the second is to discreetly check out the small town for his new employer who has plans to bring in a large box store that will totally change the flavor of the town and probably even put several small shops out of business. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love with not only the town, but the lovely Carrie whose charm, beauty and honesty sweep him off his feet. It doesn't take long before Vaughn is questioning not only his future, but everything he ever thought he wanted for his life.

In Return to Promise Cal Patterson and his wife of five years find themselves at the mercy of a woman from Cal's past who is determined to break up Cal and Jane's marriage. When Jane has to leave Texas with her children for several weeks because her father has become ill, Cal unwittingly falls into Nicole's attempts to start some vicious rumors and before he knows what hit him, Jane is accusing him of being unfaithful, the whole town is taking sides and suddenly Jane wonders whether she should stay in California for good. Will Cal's stubborn pride allow him to lose the most important thing in his life or will he come to his senses just in time for Christmas?

Two heartwarming tales that touch on the idea that things are not always as they may first appear and when all is said and done, nothing is more important that love, family, forgiveness and the never ending magic that only Christmas can bring. Five stars for A Country Christmas.
