Vanessa Hayes is making her wish finally come true: Christmas in Paris. But when her passport gets delayed, it looks like the Yuletide she longs for won't happen until a stranger suddenly enters her life, and changes it forever. Overwhelmed by responsibility, Judith Guthrie is too busy worrying about her seriously ill brother to have time to celebrate. A trip to France is a kind of happiness she can't imagine. When she accidentally receives Vanessa's passport, Judith can't resist delivering it in person so Vanessa will at least have her holiday dream. She can't anticipate that her small gesture will result in lifelong rewards that all will be thankful for. -- Provided by publisher.
