She and her daughter are new to Charm and could use a friend, a job Levi takes personally. Soon enough, friendship grows into attraction, but Levi can t help having doubts. There s something about Julia that doesn t ring quite true Like Levi, Julia Kemps has survived her fair share of hardships but only by hiding the truth of her past. Being an unmarried mother in an Amish community was unthinkable. Feeling hopeless, Julia did the only thing she could do: she moved to a new town and pretended to be a widow. But meeting Levi, she s hopeful for the first time. Little by little, she begins to imagine telling him her darkest secret, and eventually perhaps even sharing her life with him. Christmas is a time for family, and as the holiday draws closer, Julia and Levi will have to face their pasts together in order to find the healing, support and love they so desperately desire. "
