title: A Vow of Love
author: Eckhart, Lorhainne
description: Sometimes, families need a helping hand... Holidays are about family, love, and giving; but this Christmas, the Friessens are in for a rough holiday season. Thirteen days before Christmas, a letter arrives in the mail-a letter that was never meant for Candy Friessen. When she opens it, she discovers a lie that rocks her world, and she begins to question everything she and Neil have created together, including his love for her and their family. Seven days before Christmas, Candy's heart is breaking. She makes plans to leave, but when a call one night alerts all the Friessens that Becky, their mother, is fighting for her life in the hospital, they rush to her bedside without a second thought. Faced with uncertainty, Brad, Neil, Jed, and their wives are together for Christmas, but there's no happy celebration, no gifts piled under the tree. And for Candy and Neil, once trust is destroyed, is the bond of family strong enough to keep them together?
