Can God's grace bridge the gap of bitterness and unforgiveness during the holiday season? Former high school sweethearts Hannah and Micah encounter one another seven years after they broke up. Hannah's heart remains shattered. Although Micah has returned as a prodigal and seeks forgiveness, Hannah isn't sure she can grant his request. But when she meets his young son, her heart begins to soften, knowing the boy's mother abandoned him and that Micah remains committed to caring for his child. Can the Christmas season in Highwood Hills, Montana restore Hannah's faith in God and her love for Micah or will the arrival of the bronc rider/rancher's ex-wife rip them apart forever and rend a little boy's heart?
