The Christmas trespassers
Fenady, Andrew J.
Genre:
T'was the week before Christmas and all through the ranch
not a creature was stirring - because Shad Parker would fill it full of buckshot. Embittered by the loss of his wife and children in the Civil War
Shad relocated his sorry self to Gilead
Texas
where he planted a DO NOT TRESPASS sign on his land
his heart
and his soul. Intruders
beware. Enter the Coats children: three scrappy runaways from the Faith
Hope
and Charity orphanage. Austin
Pet
and Davy are hiding out in a cave on Shad's land. When the lonely rancher begrudgingly saves their lives
he's stuck taking them in. But when a gang of bank robbers show up
they're going to need a Christmas miracle - to stay alive 'til New Year's.
