Luke Hamilton’s wife Elizabeth disappeared
without a word seven years before the story begins, leaving Luke to care for
their two young children. Luke has known for several months now that Elizabeth is
indeed alive and living in Oregon but he wanted nothing to do with the woman
who had deserted him. That is until Luke learns he is to be arrested for her
murder. Determined to prove his innocence, Luke knows he has to bring Elizabeth
home and present her to the district attorney.
What Luke finds in Oregon is
not what he expected. The woman who says she is Elizabeth has her eyes and
voice but looks totally different, has a visible limp, and goes by the name
Sonia Davis. Luke has no interest in finding out why Elizabeth never contacted
him and the reader doesn’t learn the entire backstory until Elizabeth meets
with the DA. A car accident had left her disfigured and with a traumatic brain
injury (“TBI”) that stole her memory but that’s only part of the story.
Neither Luke nor Elizabeth really
understand what the other has been through during the past seven years. As they
get reacquainted – Elizabeth and Luke, and Elizabeth and the children – things are
not always easy but Christmas is the time of miracles.
This is not your typical
Christmas romance. Elizabeth’s TBI plays a large part in the story, as well as the
depression that caused her to run in the first place.
