Like any young woman, Carol Endicott has dreams. Only instead of marrying and having a family, and living as the lady on a fine estate, her dreams involve one day being the head cook on a fine estate. But for now, she's just a kitchen maid.
Thomas Beckett is smitten with the kitchen maid, Carol. He is eager to marry her and start a life with her. But he's a stable hand and she's a maid, and servants seldom found the opportunity to marry. It would take a miracle for them to find their way into a life together.
But Christmas is a season for miracles and the arrival of a pair of strangers one Christmas Eve brings new hope. Will they go back to their mundane lives after the holidays? Or will a miracle in a stable change their lives forever?
