The Christmas Wish

For five long years, ten-year-old twins Lily and Lisa have wished for the same thing every Christmas-not toys, candy, or presents, but for their father, Patrick, to come home.
While Patrick serves overseas in the Army, their mother, LeAnne, works hard to keep the family's favorite Christmas traditions alive. Memories of past holidays, Santa surprises, treasured letters, and the twins' unwavering hope help carry them through the years they spend apart.
Then, on one unforgettable Christmas morning, a mysterious knock sounds at the door. When the twins open it, the Christmas wish they have held in their hearts for so long may finally come true.

The Christmas Wish is a heartwarming story about family, hope, military service, cherished traditions, and the joy of being together again. A touching holiday tale that celebrates the children and families who wait, believe, and never stop hoping for the people they love to come home.
