A woman refuses to celebrate Christmas because of her father abandoning his family during the holiday.

For the past 30 years, Kathleen has carried around the haunting memory of her father abandoning her and her mother on Christmas Eve. She blames her mother for that night and now refuses to celebrate Christmas at all. Although she tries to forget her past, it has not forgotten her. A blizzard strands Kathleen in her home with two strangers during the days leading up to Christmas: Sam, a gentle older man she took in for the night; and Lucy, her stepdaughter-to-be. Their presence brings her face-to-face with the hurts of her past and she must choose between continuing to carry her pain and bitterness, and letting go and grabbing hold of a life-changing forgiveness.—Anonymous
