Lori Shepherd can hardly wait to celebrate Christmas this
year with her husband, Bill and twin sons in the beautiful
cottage willed to her by Aunt Dimity. Then Lori makes a
disturbing discovery beneath the cottage's snow-covered
lilac bushes--the body of a mysterious stranger, barely
alive. Lori must put her plans on hold to team up with
Julian Bright--a devilishly attractive Roman Catholic
priest--to seek out the tramp's identity. Their adventure
takes Lori and Julian from abandoned World War II airfields
to homeless shelters--places where the Christmas star shines
dimly, if at all. Finally, Lori unveils the tragic secret
that led the stranger to her door, and must confront painful
truths about herself and the true meaning of a perfect
family Christmas.
