Nicole Graham (Torrey DeVitto) is still struggling after her fiancé's death. She has to fix up their new house in order to sell it. She hires carpenter Joe Roberts (Dylan Bruce). She finds solace with her widower grandfather Pops (Patrick Duffy) and reads his old letters to her late grandmother.
The most compelling pairing is DeVitto and Duffy. It may be due to the two veteran actors. The rest is less compelling by comparison. Bruce doesn't have the same charisma and there is no heat there. He's not leading man material. This story is about her grief but this is still a Hallmark Christmas movie. She isn't really allowed to break all the way down. It's a light movie and they can't get that dark. I would prefer to go a bit Christian and have something a little more serious with this premise.
