Marie Desmere has always loved Christmastime – the extravagant decorations, the warm glow of the candlelight, and the gathering of family and friends. But now that she’s turned eighteen, it feels harder to get into the Christmas spirit. Being the eldest of four sisters, she has always felt mature and grown up, but turning eighteen… it feels different, more final. As if childhood is now a closed door of the past, something she can’t get back. Thus, Marie works on a gift for her sisters: a keepsake sketchbook, full of drawings that capture the essence of Christmas through their wonder-lit eyes. But through an unexpected snowfall and an afternoon whisked away with her sisters, she discovers that her presence is the best gift she can give them… and little Marie? Her inner child just might be closer than she thinks.
