Sydney Ragsdale is looking for a fresh start far after a divorce. Returning to her childhood home in Hopewell, North Carolina, is just what her soul needs. Praying some Christmas magic will follow her, Sydney moves with her daughter to a farmhouse that once belonged to her grandparents. Soon, she finds solace working at The Book Bea, her favorite bookstore.

Single dad Kevin MacAlee is the local high school history teacher and baseball coach. “Mac” is also the town’s best-kept secret: he has been playing Santa since his son was born twelve years ago. Mac loves the enchantment of the season and wants his son to share in his joy.

When a catastrophe forces The Book Bea to close before the end of the year, everyone in Hopewell is feeling the loss. Can they all come together and reclaim the holiday spirit…and find a way to move forward toward their dreams?
