Revisits the story from Sweetshop of Dreams with some twists, now you know the characters, now they're snowed in. Stephen is starting teaching when a truck collides with the school, landing Stephen in hospital and Edison seriously injured. Then a man joins the home Lilian is in, and Lilian is convinced she knows him from somewhere and Rosie's family have decided to visit from Australia, for Christmas.

It's fun, light stuff but entertaining.
