Set in New York City against the backdrop of impending war, Christmastime 1940: A Love Story tells the tale of an unlikely romance between a struggling young mother trying to make a fresh start and a man who has lost his connection to humanity.
The curmudgeonly Charles Drooms is perfectly content with his life as the owner of a successful accounting firm. However, when the beautiful widow, Lillian Hapsey, and her two young sons move down the hall from him, his narrow world is shaken. Three forces--Lillian, the Christmas season, and a mysterious little boy--converge to stir up powerful memories, pushing Drooms to make some life-altering decisions.
