Doris Glick's beau has done more than enough to cause pain to his family and everyone in the district. Surely, he is finished causing upset. But no... Now, his carelessness lands him in the hospital. Doris is beside herself. She's tired of making excuses for him, tired of defending him, tired of him. But how can she break up with him when he's hurt? What kind of person would she be? The only person she really wants to confide in is her adopted cousin, Matthew Wanner. As Christmas approaches, she becomes more and more drawn to Matthew. What kind of holiday can it be, when everything is in such a mess? Matthew is moving quickly toward asking Annie Hershberger to marry him. While Doris does her best to support him, her heart is breaking. Has she trapped herself with a beau she doesn't love? Will she ever find the courage to confess to Matthew how she really feels?
