Family is complicated, especially around the holidays…
Liz Flowers has never enjoyed Christmas, but this one is shaping up to be the worst by far.

Their children might be cousins, but Blake and Liz do the kissing–under the mistletoe. It’s the beginning of a new view of Christmas for Liz, but when their children arrive home unexpectedly, and family secrets are revealed, Liz isn’t sure she’ll stay in Marietta for Christmas after all.
