Anna Coblentz is engaged to the man of her dreams, and they are about to celebrate Christmas together with the promise of wedded bliss in the following year. But just two weeks before Christmas, her mother’s buggy is struck by a speeding car that drives off and leaves her on the side of the road.
With her mother in the hospital suffering multiple injuries, Anna begins to question human nature and even God’s love and mercy. The shock of the tragedy causes her to shut out everyone around her, including Caleb. Consumed with her anger and bitterness, Anna fails to appreciate the fact that her mother will recover. She just wants to see the driver brought to justice.
Then, as Christmas is nearly upon them, a secret is revealed, and everything they clung to is threatened…unless, they can reach down into their hearts to find forgiveness and finally have the peace that passes all understanding…the peace that came down at Christmas time.
