After getting a
call to the warehouse district, firefighter Knox Norville was ready to
write it off to arson. The abandoned buildings are home to many vagrants
and drug addicts, but he arrives ready to do his job regardless. He wasn’t
expecting the effect this call would have on his life...or the one
decision he made that could possibly ruin him forever.
By saving one young
woman, and going back to look for her dog, he thought he was doing the
right thing, not neglecting his duties. But what he soon learns hits hard,
and his conscience eats at him. One horrible thing after another on the
worst day of his life lands him a hefty fine, community service, and
possible jail time, but is it all divine intervention?
Jenise Danziger had nothing physically, but through her faith, she
had everything she needed, except maybe a permanent home for herself and
Corky, her faithful companion. But she trusted that in time God would
provide, and put her exactly where she's supposed to be. And just maybe
that was in the arms of her rescuer.

It’s supposed to be the most wonderful
time of the year, but Leyland Scott is down in the dumps. It’s his first
Christmas since losing his mom, it’s possible his job of over twenty years
is about to be axed, and he just can’t find it in himself to care about
anything really. Except for one thing—Lynette who works at the coffee
shop. She’s the only bright spot in his day.
Lynette is fairly new in town, having made
the move to the big city a few months ago to find herself. She’s
struggling to make ends meet but she’s determined to prove she can make
it. During that short time, she’s become interested in Leyland, who
frequents the coffee shop. And when he finally asks her out, she’s
skeptical at first but agrees, only to discover she’s happy she did.
The two have a common concern when they
hear the wildly enthusiastic, if a bit (all right, a lot) out of tune
Christmas carols being belted out by an underdressed kid wearing angel
wings and no shoes. It’s freezing outside, with snow covering the ground,
but the boy appears unfazed and continues merrily singing his heart out in
front of passersby. No one knows who the kid is, but Harold, as they end
up naming him, seems to know them all.
Normally not a religious man, Leyland has
a change in spirit. The angel boy seems to deliver a message, letting him
know this is his opportunity for a fresh start. He’s told when one door
closes, another door opens. Perhaps God, with the help of Harold, has
opened that door. If that’s true, Leyland is ready to go through it with
Lynette.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Maybe it’s also time for a new beginning for them both.
