A woman from the future, trapped in the past...Avery Lawson doesn't do holidays-not since she lost her parents in a tragic car accident when she was eighteen years old. Once her favorite time of year, now the holidays only represent heartache, loneliness, and the faith she lost. A busy university student, Avery has become used to relying only on herself in the last few years. When a well-meaning coworker invites her to Thanksgiving dinner, Avery declines.
