Raised in an orphanage, Carol Gallagher arrives in Mistletoe Falls believing one simple truth.
Christmas is the one time of year when the world remembers how to be kind.
When an advertisement for a mail-order bride brings her to Mistletoe Falls, Carol hopes to find a home, a family, and a place where she belongs. Instead, she finds Benjamin Hartwell, a successful lumber merchant who has spent the last ten years forgetting how to feel.
After tragedy steals his wife and newborn child on Christmas Eve, Ben convinces himself that a practical marriage is the perfect solution to the problems of an empty house, without risking his broken heart again.
Between a stray dog that refuses to leave, a hungry boy in need of a warm place to belong, and a Christmas season filled with unexpected blessings, Carol slowly discovers that the loneliest soul in Mistletoe Falls may be the man she married.
Now all she has to do is convince him that accepting love takes every bit as much courage as giving it.
