β¦ Synopsis
A heartwarming Christmas romance set during the Great Depression
It's 1931 and times are tough for the Miller family who are raising eight children in the midst of the Great Depression. When Eli Miller passes away unexpectedly, Emmy has no idea how she'll make ends meet. The Amish community rallies around her and the children, as is their custom, but as days turn into weeks and then into months, Emmy's friends and neighbors return to their own routines and seem to expect Emmy to do the same. Emmy knows she needs to stay strong for the children and figure out a way to keep everyone warm and clothed and fed, but she is heartbroken and exhausted. She reminds herself that God will provide, but every day feels like an uphill battle.
Emmy immerses herself in the tasks at hand, rallying the children to help with harvesting and canning so they'll have something to eat over the winter. When did the kids become so unruly? How is she supposed to love and discipline them...
