It's the end of 1918, and this year Lottie Webster has faced a pandemic and a world war that have caused one heartache after the next for her family. Trying to mother her grieving nieces and reconnect with her shell-shocked husband, celebrating Christmas is the last thing on Lottie's mind. But when her brother returns home from the front, his holiday "surprise" threatens to ruin not only Christmas but the fragile peace left in Lottie's life. Ada Unser is alone and starving in war-ravaged Germany when she gets an unexpected opportunity to escape, but she must risk everything and step into the unknown. Will her courage be rewarded with a loving home or resentment and scorn? And will her cherished Christmas traditions bring her new family together or tear them further apart?
