The Family's youngest son, Sean is sent to get her. At first sight, neither likes the other. However, Both have suffered through cruel marriages and have been accused of lies they did not commit, but they are honest with each other and both repent to God of the bitterness in their hearts. That is part of the perfect gift and the other part is finding each other. This is a beautifully written Christmas story and very moving.

A beautiful gift book.
