When Samantha Hackett, angel matchmaker extraordinaire, spends her first Christmas on the far side of forever, she can't help but miss the little details that make the holiday season so special-the Christmas lights, the shopping, the mistletoe. Fortunately, her husband, Jason, knows that Samantha is happiest when she is among mortals, giving destiny a helping hand. So he has arranged a special Christmas assignment just for her. For Captain Matt Browning, Christmas has never been anything special. Raised in an orphanage and a series of foster homes, he remembers receiving only one gift-a silver plane with red wings, given to him by a stranger who came to the orphanage one Christmas Eve. Now, for the second time in his life, Matt is about to receive an unexpected Christmas present from a stranger, a present that will change his life and heal his wounded spirit.
