The Christmas Trespassers

Embittered Shad Parker relocates to Gilead, Texas, and plants a "Do Not Trespass" sign on his land, his heart, and his soul. Enter the Coats children: three scrappy runaways hiding out in a cave on Shad's land. When the lonely rancher begrudgingly saves their lives, he's stuck with them. Includes three bonus stories. Original.
