  Sometimes changing the world
  begins with changing your own life.
  
  "I can't save the world...but I can try." Those are the words Maeve Buchanan tries to live by. She loves her small town life. But as her friends' find happily-ever-afters she's feeling a twinge of envy. Everyone seems to be finding their soulmate--except her. She pushes aside the small feeling and works to help a homeless family who arrived in town one snowy night. Maeve--a small town George Bailey--is determined to give them a permanent home by Christmas. The entire town pitches into help. And maybe, just maybe there's something very special happening with an unlikely neighbor.
  
  Fans of Jacobs' Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Something Perfect will love this final story in her Hometown Hearts series.
