Macy has a secret. It's Christmas 1963, and Macy Lance has it all. She'll soon graduate from a prestigious southern college. A position in a top pharmaceutical firm waits for her. Best of all, Jonathan Tennent has proposed. Jonathan is not only the love of her life, he's the son of Macon, Georgia's wealthiest and most prominent family, heir to Tennent Pharmaceuticals. All would be perfect except Macy isn't the woman Jon thinks she is. No one suspects her persona of an affluent college co-ed is a charade. She must tell Jon the truth by Christmas Eve, but before then, she searches for a gift to rival the engagement ring Jon is giving her, and convince his society-obsessed mother she is good enough for her only son. Despite his family's objections, Jon is determined to make Macy his wife. Then he discovers the one thing that can destroy their future.
