Plot Synopsis

Mary Ann is a successful lawyer who wants nothing more than to adopt a child and be a mother. When she finally gets the call that's God's answer to her prayers, Mary Ann treks to Bethlehem, PA just before Christmas to meet her new bundle of joy. But bad weather forces her and her newborn daughter, Natalie, to delay their trip back home. The local inn is full but the welcoming innkeeper Frankie has a solution -- her brother Joe has a spare room in his home she can use. The quintessential bachelor, Joe's place is less than tidy but he welcomes Mary Ann and Natalie and tries to make them comfortable. The weather forecast isn't cooperating so Mary Ann extends her stay, giving her time to become part of his family's pre-holiday celebrations, including Christmas activities at their church. As the two spend more time together, it's becoming clear to them -- and everyone around them -- that an attraction is growing. Each of them opens up to the other about personal challenges weighing on them -- Mary Ann is hesitant to let her mother, who struggled as a single parent, know that she adopted a baby on her own, while Joe shares that life for him hasn't been the same since the passing of his father, who was his best friend. As Mary Ann and Joe connect through their shared faith and become close, they could just be the unexpected blessing in each other's life in surprising ways. *CREDITS: Executive Producers: Kimberely Daugherty, Julie Insogna, Seth Jarrett; Director: Jeff Beesley; Writer: Laura Kampo Lennon.
