Noel Martin, a down-on-her-luck widow, runs out of oomph in a Minnesota snowstorm. Café owner Dan Longstreet has a history of collecting strays and his big heart prompts him to help Noel. He offers her a job and a place for her and her two kids to stay.Noel accepts the help, making sure Dan knows this is temporary because she's promised her kids that they will have Christmas in Connecticut.A fire at the café puts a difficult spin on their professional and blossoming personal relationship, and their paths diverge. Each must make a journey of the heart to find the eternal message of love.This novella is a quick read and brings to mind the hope of the season. I'm keeping it on my Kindle to reread in the middle of the year so that Edwards' message will stay fresh in my mind. Goals and dreams may change but peace, love, and hope abide.
