Celia Banks has given her whole life to seven-year-old daughter Lilly. After losing her husband three years ago, Celia has also given up on love... but Lilly doesn't want her mother to spend another holiday season alone.

When struggling children's author Jake Platt receives Lilly's letter, he is inspired to write for the first time in years.
