Patricia Addison is a social worker for children and Christmas is a busy time of the year for her job. There is a four-month-old baby needing to be immediately placed in a foster home. Most of the homes are full but Patricia finds a woman to
take little Mia. Emily Adams is
nine-years-old and she is waiting for her mom to come home from work so they
can decorate the Christmas tree.
Her mom is hurrying to her job, she walks in front of a car and the
driver doesn’t see her. Patricia stops
by Emily’s apartment to pick her up and explain that her mother isn’t coming
home. Patricia decides to take
Emily to her house because she probably can’t find another place for her. Patricia and her husband Mark are still
trying to recover from the loss of their son Chad in a car accident.
The
Addison’s have a big decision to make this Christmas. Are they going to let their marriage dissolve or will they
make changes that could keep them together. They can put hope back in their lives or they can continue
to grieve and go their separate ways. I thought this was good and heartwarming. 3 1/2 * (I liked this movie)
