Confederate officer Craig Langston is a man on a mission. One year prior, he marched out with his regiment and foolishly promised his wife that he'd be home in time for Christmas. Now he'll move heaven and earth to return home, thinking of nothing but holding her in his arms, and trying to salvage his marriage. Heaven, however, doesn't seem to be on his side, and a variable wave of disaster follows in his wake. Thwarted at every possible turn, can Craig and Marissa weather a storm of unsuspected wartime tribulations, and discover the true spirit of Christmas? Or is a day of peace on earth too much to hope for?
