1903 CHRISTMAS IN A WESTERN COAL MINING TOWN CHRISTMAS EVE, SNOW, A NEW BABY COMING SOON, AND NO MONEY. Deep in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Anna lives with her husband, William, and her two young children, Sophie, 7, and Thomas, 5. The coal mine where William works isn't operating full time, and although they've made toys for Sophie and Thomas, Anna is frightened and sad, worried for her beloved family. It's snowing hard, and the world feels bleak and joyless. ˃˃˃ IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE TO MAKE THIS STORMY CHRISTMAS MERRY. Sometimes miracles can come in the most remarkable fashion.
