Intrepid young journalist Brooke Crane has it all: a handsome husband, adorable baby daughter, and a dream job as a reporter for New York's Daily Post. But her picture-perfect life begins to crumble when she catches her husband Denny flirting with a colleague. Reeling from the ramifications of Denny's behavior, Brooke accepts a holiday assignment to interview a Nobel-prize winning physicist, never dreaming that the kindly older man's memories of a long-ago Christmas might give her a second chance at love.
As Brooke juggles childcare for her daughter, heartache over her troubled relationship, and the hustle and bustle of Christmas in Manhattan, she longs to quickly wrap up her story on the eminent Dr. James Stevens and move on with her life. Instead, while snow swirls outside the doctor's elegant brownstone apartment, Brooke is slowly beguiled by the story of a Christmas in 1966 when a mysterious woman appeared alone and out of nowhere in James Stevens' small town. As the clock ticks toward Christmas, Brooke learns of the famous man's lonely boyhood, his charming (but distant) football coaching father, and the holiday season that changed their lives and the town of Stone Harbor, Maine, forever.
Can the Christmas lessons of the past prove powerful enough to save a troubled present? Can discovering the truth lead to love? These are the questions at the core of SANTA ON THE SIDELINES, a heartwarming holiday romance that blends the old-fashioned appeal of quaint New England with the sparkle of big-city New York. Grab a glass of eggnog and curl up by the fire with this sweetly satisfying tale of Christmas love.
