Christmas Eve is coming soon, but there is no joy in the Kriegen home. A year prior, Clara lost her husband, Joshua, to a sudden heart attack, leaving their son, eleven-year-old Donald, without a father.

Now, Clara and Donald both feel lost, and Clara is dreading Christmas. When yet another tragedy strikes, she can't help but question the goodness of God. How could God take her husband away? How could He take her son's dog, just before Christmas? How could He leave them so alone?

Just when things seem darkest, however, a bit of good luck lands on their front porch....
