Holly is a single mother abandoned by a Wall Street scumbag, struggling alone with her three sons to keep the family's bankrupt old bakery afloat. On Christmas Eve, she accidentally finds in the snowy woods a mysterious little girl named Noelle, dressed strangely, like an elf. Noelle not only carries heaven-defying good luck, but can revive withered plants and turn unsellable bread into peerless delicacies. Under Noelle's "miracle" protection, Holly's family unites as one, fighting off her snobbish, greedy sister-in-law the real-estate agent and repelling the vicious chain-supermarket capital. This is a rousing story about love, miracles, and fighting back against impossible odds.
