This Hallmark holiday film started a little rough for me. Laura Vander Voort plays a family law lawyer named Mary Ann, who desperately wants to be a mother herself. She has been approved and yet has had some last minute let downs. When she is called at night to pick up a new born she doesn't hesitate...which is how she ends up stranded with a newborn in a Pennsylvania town named Bethlehem thanks to a storm and road closures. In Bethlehem, the inn is full and she ends up staying in the in owner's brother's house...which is how she meets Benjamin Ayres' character Joe. As it turns out Joe was also adopted and since the loss of his father he has lost his purpose.
These two are almost instantly perfect for one another and his family is fantastically helpful to the new mom, Mary Ann. His family is rounded out by Amy Groening, who plays his sister Frankie and the lovely Tery Rothery, who plays his sweet mother Goldie.
The one storyline that I had an issue with was the relationship that Mary Ann has with her mother. It made sense why she would hold her at bay when she was eager to be a part of her life.
A little different and more religious than most of Hallmark's holiday offerings, but still a decent film. I would recommend it to those who appreciate the biblical story of Joseph and Mary.
