In this book, we get to see Patricia and Mark Addison a married couple that has grown apart from each other after a tragedy happened four Christmas ago. Mark is a pilot who works most of the time and Patricia is a social worker who has thrown herself into her work and has started obsessively cleaning when at home as well.
Everything changes for Patricia and Mark though when Patricia gets a new case where the child (Emily) has lost her mother in a car accident and since then has gone to multiple foster homes and is having to be placed into a different one a few days before Christmas. With no one to answer the call to take Emily in and she decides to do something that she really isn't supposed to do and could possibly lose her job for doing. With Emily now spending the holidays with her and Mark she's not really sure to do and with another child case needing her help as well due to a health problem, we get to see Nathan now in his final year as a resident at the hospital.
Emily helps not only Patricia and Mark deal with what they have lost but shows them that is okay to happy again.
Overall I really loved this one and it is my favorite one so far in this series! Seeing how everyone came together to make this a special Christmas for Emily and one that she will never forget was so heartwarming to see.
I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book!
