Description

A poignant exploration of family, isolation and the power of human connection. When Ellie and Eric Nyland move their sons back to Eric's childhood farmhouse, they hope for a fresh start, but their family is struggling with private sorrows and missed signals. As winter sets in, Ellie's hopes begin to fade. Eric's life takes an unexpected turn when he finds Hannah Finch, a young girl wandering alone in the cold. With nowhere else to send her, the Nylands reluctantly agree to let Hannah stay with them until after Christmas. But as they get to know her, they discover that she brings more than just comfort - she also challenges their own capacity for love and acceptance. As the holiday season approaches, the Nylands must confront the reality of letting go, and the true meaning of family and community is revealed in this heartwarming and thought-provoking novel.
