Life isn't always sweet, even for girls called Candy. Candice Parker married Gerald Ford on Christmas Eve two years ago following a massive blizzard. The year before that her family was left homeless when a fire burned their apartments to the ground. Fortunately, fireman Gary had been on call and led the team that rescued Lanelle and Dakota from the blaze. Last year it all came to a head when Caroline joined their household as the nanny and housekeeper when she revealed the fire had been arson. Following the discovery, a sinister plot unfolded that almost killed them all. To say Candy is dreading the arrival of this typically happy holiday would be an understatement. However, she does have one thing going for her this year. Gary has convinced her to adopt rather than try for a baby of their own and a new addition will join their family just in time to change Candy's view of Christmas forever. Pushing through her self-doubts, Candy must embrace the desire within her to become Joylana's mother and champion for life, but will she have the strength to be the mom she wants to be after all the hardships she and Daks have faced in the past?
