In need of a helping hand...

Having recently lost his wife, Clark Beaumont is trying to make it through the holidays for the sake of his kids. But with his son failing at school and his little girl only talking in whispers, he needs nothing short of a miracle...and then one arrives on his doorstep!

Althea Johnson is only meant to tutor Clark's son, not to form any emotional bonds – especially with her boss. But with her help the Beaumont family begins to come alive again, and against the odds Althea hopes that when Christmas morning arrives there will be four stockings hanging over the fireplace.
