Bestselling romance author Jacob Churcher hasn't been home
for almost twenty years-- not since his mentally ill
mother kicked him out of the house when he was just
sixteen. When a lawyer calls, days before Christmas, to
inform him that his estranged mother has passed away and
left her house to him, Jacob returns not just to settle
the estate but to try and reconcile with the past and the
pain and abuse he experienced as a child. Also, maybe
cleaning out her house will be slightly less depressing
than spending the holidays alone, watching re-runs of
Christmas classics. But as it turns out, the house holds
more than just difficult memories, Jacob’s mother had
become a hoarder and he must excavate through two decades
worth of clutter. As Jacob digs through the detritus, like
an archaeologist, he uncovers many puzzling items
including a diary left by someone named Noel, a young
woman he has no recollection of, who stayed with Jacob’s
family during her pregnancy. That’s not the only echo from
the past. Jacob has an unexpected visitor, Rachel, a woman
looking for the mother who put her up for adoption thirty
years before. United by their quest to make sense of the
past and rewrite their futures, Jacob and Rachel begin a
search for Noel. Along the way they find more than they
possibly imagined, including grace, forgiveness and a
chance at love.
