All seventeen-year-old Samantha Owens wants for Christmas is a working
car, a miraculous improvement in her grades, and a boyfriend who sees
her as more than just a friend with benefits. But with a single mom
who’s struggling to make ends meet, presents seem unlikely, and with
legal troubles looming over her head, she’ll be lucky not to be spending
the holiday in juvenile detention. When she’s forced to do community
service at the local church, she finds that wishing her life was
different won’t make it so, and that avoiding her past may be what’s
standing in the way of her future.
It doesn’t help that Travis
Vance, a freshman in college and intern for a teen drug and alcohol
treatment program, is hanging around and pushing her buttons at every
turn. Or that her friends are all going through their own dramas—most of
which seem far worse than her own. Can Sami bring everyone together to
save the church in time for Christmas? Or is hoping for a happy ending
one more wish that will never be granted?
