Beloved, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Mary
Monroe delivers a hopeful and heartwarming story about an impossible
Christmas dream, an unexpected act of goodwill--and a surprising chain
of events that could gift joy far beyond the holiday season...
Free-spirited, living on the fly, Vanessa Hayes is still always down for
traditional family holiday fun--until now. She's making her oft-delayed
wish finally come true: Christmas in Paris, the glittering City of
Lights. But when her passport gets delayed, it's too late for Vanessa to
rebook. Now it looks like the Yuletide she longs for won't happen. Until
a stranger suddenly enters her life, and changes it forever...
Overwhelmed by responsibility, Judith Guthrie is too busy worrying about
her seriously ill brother to have time to celebrate. She's taken a leave
from her teaching job to care for him as he's on the waiting list for a
life-giving transplant. A trip to France is a kind of happiness she
can't imagine. But when she accidentally receives Vanessa's passport,
Judith can't resist delivering it in person so Vanessa will at least
have her holiday dream. She can't anticipate that her small gesture will
result in a series of big choices, big miracles, and lifelong rewards
that all will be thankful for over many Christmases to come...
