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. . .
