Annie Sharpe’s spark for life has fizzled out. Her kids are grown up, her restaurant is doing just fine on its own, and her twenty-six-year marriage has come to an unceremonious end.

But with a little can-do spirit and holiday magic, the most difficult time of her life will become…a season for second chances.
