After years of giving of herself to her family and
community, Grace Beiler, an elderly Amish woman, faces
her first Christmas since losing her husband of fifty
years to his battle with cancer. With her children grown
and moved onto different communities, Grace is feeling
more than a little depressed.
She begins to reflect upon her own life and wonder if she
has properly fulfilled her promise to be a servant of
God. As Christmas draws near and her depression becomes
stronger, she starts receiving little gifts in the mail
and left on her doorstep. She realizes that she has a
"secret sister," but has no idea who it might be, for
each gift seems to relate to a different event in her
life. Each gift causes her to reflect and remember
important moments. Just when she thinks she might have
figured out who the secret sister is, a new gift arrives
with a different meaning.
