The story takes place in Christmas Valley. It is a small town in the mountains. They named it that to attract tourists to their town as there isn't much in the way of industry to create jobs. The bus belongs to a very, young, but poor couple, Amy and Collin, that show up in the town. They get stranded as their bus breaks down. Amy is very pregnant. They have no job and are very short on money. It is interesting the emotions that take place - first the town is critical of the bus because it looks out of place and they don't like it in their town. They question the type of people that would own such a bus. Very negative emotions. Then, after listening to her husband's sermon in church, Edith feels that the town is being called to offer assistance to the couple - for the couple is no different than Mary and Joseph had been at the time when Jesus was born.
It is really a delightful, enjoyable book to read. Great moral lessons. My favorite part from the book when many from the town realize that God can use someone that is unexpected and unconventional to touch our lives.
