Description: Becca Rowan has driven home to Maine the week before Christmas with one idea in mind: to reclaim the daughter she gave up when she was a frightened teenager. Raised by Becca's older brother and his wife, Rain Rowan has no idea she was adopted. But while Becca expects shock at her announcement, she's unprepared for the depth of her family's adverse reaction. And as her parent's neighbor, Alex, draws her into an unexpected friendship, Becca begins to challenge her own preconceptions about family, about love, and about the courage needed to live with, and sometimes change, the decisions we make.
