Jaime and C. J. Fitzpatrick

began their married life as most couples do--in love and looking forward to a bright future together. But four years later they''ve drifted apart and are almost ready to call it quits.

Mattie Riehl

was hoping to give her husband Sol the Christmas gift they have both longed for--news that a baby was on the way. But as usual, she is disappointed. The holidays bring an acute awareness to Mattie that her dream of a big family isn''t likely to become a reality.

Then a winter storm

raging outside blows the Fitzpatricks into the Riehl home--and into a much slower pace of life. Can these two couples from different worlds help each other understand the true meaning of love this Christmas?

With her trademark plot twists

and attention to detail, Suzanne Woods Fisher offers readers a beautiful Christmas story of love, forgiveness, and what truly matters in life.
