Publisher's summary

Ever since he was a kid, Sam Jordan couldn’t find any joy in Christmas. He had grown to resent it and what it represented. But now, with a wife and two daughters, his anti-Christmas stance was having a chilling effect with those he loved most. Something had to give.

An awkward series of events leaves Sam alone and stranded on Christmas Eve, with only his thoughts - and a hard heart that needs thawing - if he doesn't freeze first.

A Christmas story of love, hope, and repentance.

Great Christmas story!

A quick, enjoyable listen—one I will listen to every year to remind me of the reason for Christmas.

What a great story!

My friend and distant cousin has written a lovely, modern novella which shows how Christmas becomes meaningful and joyful to a man whose perceptions have been embittered by an experience he had as a child.

Wonderful Christmas Story

I loved this book! I've been reading Bradley McBride's blog for several years, and his writing is always uplifting and inspirational. I really enjoyed listening to this new fictional story that is so hopeful and Christ-centered. Listening to this book made me feel the Christmas spirit more.
The story was unique and focused on the core things that matter in life. The narration was well done. Great audiobook!
