Itโs a Wonderful Life meets Groundhog Day in USA Today bestselling author Annie Rainsโs new novel, as a woman dangerously close to losing it all receives an unexpected Christmas gift that prompts a surprising journey of self-discovery
... and another chance at happiness.
Diana Merriman, a physical therapist, is probably the only person in the small town of Snow Haven, North Carolina, who isnโt looking forward to Christmas. Itโs been three weeks since her fiancรฉ Linus was critically injured when a car hit him as he biked home from the toy store he owns and manages. Watching him open
his eyes is the only gift she wants, but she canโt help losing a little more hope every day.
But an unexpected visit from a friendly neighbor and finding a snow globe of Snow Havenโa gift Linus had hidden in the closetโthe night before Christmas Eve changes things in ways Diana never would have imagined. Because on Christmas Eve Diana wakes up to find that itโs notโChristmas Eve, that is. Instead, itโs
somehow December 4 all over again, the day Linus got hurt, and as mystified as Diana is, she immediately starts a plan to save her partner from his fate.
Nothing is that simple, of course. Instead of a single repeat of that day, Diana finds herself in an endless loop of December 4, experiencing every possible variation of events. Along the way, she uncovers startling truths about herself, her relationship, and even her career that illustrate the ways sheโs retreated from her
lifeโand in the face of lifeโs slights and outright blows, from her deepest feelings.
Suddenly hope is second only to joy as Diana opens her heart to the people she loves in every way she can.
