A Lonely Christmas Bride for the Solitary Miner (The Twelve Mail Order Brides of Christmas) by Emma Morgan

This a warm and tender tale of woman trying to adapt to a life that is rather solitary and lonely. Her husband does not initially help because he is not sure of how to help her and goes about his day as if she is not there. Tristan's mother is a work of disparity and whatever anger lays in her heart needs love. The only problem with this story is that it doesn't deal with Tristan's mother's anger.
