Christmas comes to a small Amish communityand brings new beginnings with it.

Karl Graber is too busy struggling with his hardware store and two young daughters to indulge local matchmaker Rose Yoders schemes. After his wifes death, the thought of loving and perhaps losing another woman holds no appeal. So while hes relieved to learnhes not on Roses list of potential husbands for new schoolteacher Sophie Eicher, hes also surprised. Despite himself, Karl cant help wondering what Rose thinks he lacksand why outspoken, attractive Sophie has so little interest in marriage.

After surviving breast cancer,Sophieis hoping to make a fresh start in Harts Haven. Perhaps the handsome widower next door would make a good match for her sister, but Sophie wont burden any man with her uncertain future. But when Karl offers to help her to create a living nativity Christmas program for the schoolchildren, she gratefully agrees.

Itll take a bold plan and help from Karls children to make this chaotic Christmas play a success. And as friendships deepen, hearts open and hopes are rekindled, two unlikely people may discover the healing gift of love.
