Welcome to Heywood, Oregon where three lost women find
healing, hope and love under the bright light of the town's
old Star Inn this Christmas season.
Jed Taylor knows how to cowboy up on the range, and on the
sales’ floor of his family’s rapidly growing western and
ranch store in Central Washington, which is exactly where he
would normally be a week before Christmas… but when he heard
Mia O’Loughlin was planning a trip north, pregnant and
alone, Jed’s promise to her late husband kicked in. More
Grinch than grace, he boarded a plane and headed to the
coast, determined that his best friend’s widow wouldn’t make
the long trek alone.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, widowed, pregnant and
all alone on the West Coast.
E.R. nurse and Red Cross emergency responder Mia O’Loughlin
had always taken life in full stride, but losing her
deployed husband the week before she realized they were
expecting their first child knocked her off-kilter. With
Christmas and her due date approaching, all she can see is
getting back home to Kittitas County for the birth of her
child… their child… and seeing her failing Grandpa
Joe one last time. Determined to do it on her own, she
reluctantly allows Jed to accompany her, mostly because the
gruff cowboy showed up and won’t take no for an answer.
But when a blizzard grinds their progress to a stop in
Northern Oregon, the light from an old inn beckons them into
a town hunkered down to ride out the unexpected storm. With
the help of the inn’s wise and wonderful “angel,” Mia
realizes the old white church has been turned into a
shelter. She insists on leaving the inn to help those forced
out of their homes and off the highway. As she and Jed
improvise to provide comfort to others, they begin to see
that facing this once-dreaded Christmas together could be
the very best way of all.
