Gaby Summerhill has decorated the tree and wrapped the presents, but her biggest Christmas surprise isn't under the branches. Three years after her husband's death scattered her four children to separate lives, Gaby announces she's getting married on Christmas Day. The catch: she won't reveal the groom's identity until the ceremony. Her children haven't gathered for the holidays since their father died, but this mysterious wedding might finally bring them home. Gaby has prepared more than holiday cookies and wedding vows. She carries one additional secret that could transform her family forever. As Christmas approaches, the Summerhill children must decide whether to trust their mother's unconventional plan or let old wounds keep them apart.
