Calendar Girls' Ranch

Jana Calendar loves her life working with special needs girls at her family’s ranch. When her favorite child loses yet another foster home, she decides to be the one to get her out of the system and adopt her. Working closely with Aubrey’s social worker is no hardship. When there is a glitch in her plans, the two of them work together quickly to find a solution.

February "Val" Calendar is one of 12 adopted sisters, and she loves her entire huge and utterly crazy family. She really and truly does. It's just that lately...well, lately, she's been wondering about this empty feeling inside—this desire to be a part of something more. She wonders if it's a result of not knowing her birth family, and Val's initial research has indicated a few options open to her. She's determined to use them all in her search to find where she really belongs.

Marci Calendar loves the children she teaches at the Calendar Girls’ Ranch, and she loves her family wholeheartedly. However, she doesn’t believe in love between a man and a woman. She’s seen two of her sisters fall in love, but she knows it could never happen to her. Thomas Latham agrees to be the official electrician for the first year of the Calendar Girls’ Ranch’s drive-through Christmas display. He knows he’ll need to spend a lot of time at the ranch to get it all wired up, and he has a short period of time to do it all.

April Calendar might be a little obsessed with Christmas. Or a lot. As far as she's concerned, Christmas isn't just the most wonderful time of year, it's basically her reason for existing! Now, if she could—just once—manage to win the annual town Christmas Tree Decorating Contest and win the money her family's ranch so desperately needs, she'll be able to prove her Christmas obsession is actually useful! Too bad she can't come up with a winning theme. And too bad she's paired up with the ranch's grumpy new handyman in her attempts to win...no matter how hot he is.  

The second of the Calendar triplets, May is a quiet, critter-loving woman who enjoys being around her family but has issues with strangers. When she goes to the doctor for yet another animal-related injury, she is surprised to see the grown-up version of the little boy she did everything with from her first day in kindergarten to her last day of high school.
