Welcome to Christmas Valley, the Christmas Capital of the Pacific Northwest!

It's only two weeks before Christmas, Edith Ryan is disappointed to learn that none of her children are coming home for the holidays. Her large house, which doubles as The Shepherd's Inn the rest of the year, will feel so empty without them. It's too late to open the inn for Christmas reservations, surely everyone else has their plans made by now.

In a town where Christmas is a way of life all year long, going through the holidays alone is just about enough to bring her to tears.

Suddenly, Edith knows what she has to do, she will invite strangers to book those rooms usually reserved for family during the week of Christmas. When the guest list shapes up to include a cantankerous old woman and a mysterious young couple with a broken-down hippie bus and a baby on the way, Edith wonders if she made the right choice.

Will it blow up in her face?

Or could she be entertaining angels unaware?
