Lisa truly believes that her life is blessed, that she and Paul were destined to be together for all eternity.
Owners of a quaint bookstore in Vermont, they are well known and well liked in the community. Christmas is Lisa's favorite time of year, but Paul's untimely death on Christmas Eve quickly turns her into the town Scrooge. She feels like has no meaning, that God betrayed her. It takes the wisdom of a small child to make her realize that life is a very precious gift and that God's love is eternal.
