Opis

Wounded in the line of duty and on the road to recovery, Jack Lacey returns with "Pops" his great grandfather to the "old homestead" for the holidays. There he works to restore the family church in time for Christmas Eve and find the spirit of Christmases from long, long ago. When he sees the job ahead as an impossible take, Pops simply smiles and says, "Just have faith and believe in your heart and all will be fine." Yet, he remains skeptical, believing only a miracle will restore the old church in time for Christmas. Early on, he discovers a brazen little church mouse that has him wondering about the magical mysteries Pops told him surround the old homestead. "Oscar" listens patiently to Jack's telling of a fateful day in May that gave him the title of "hero," a title he detests. And, strangely, to Jack it seems that the daring mouse understands. To complicate matters, Julia Atkins, a lovely young woman, has slipped, unexpectedly, into his life and is trying to steal his heart. But, he's determined to resist her efforts. Soon, he's fighting his demons and searching for himself, while toiling in the old church with Julia by his side. When temptation builds to take her in his arms, an old love appears and wants him back.
