Christmas Bedtime Stories

Danielle Aames teaches at a school on the Marine Corps Camp Bancroft in Virginia. This Christmas season will mark three years since her husband, Major Colby Aames, went MIA when his plane was shot down over the Gulf of Aden; his was the only body that was never recovered but he was officially declared dead. Christmas had always been special for them in many of their milestone events occurring during the holidays, including their first meeting, their engagement, their wedding, and the birth of their daughter Audrey Aames, who is turning eight this year. It has now been 9 months since Danielle started dating civilian Pierce Hammond, a friend of Colby's, and with Audrey's blessing, Danielle has accepted Pierce's marriage proposal. Audrey, who does not really remember her father beyond the photographs around their house, begins to ask her mother about him, and Danielle provides a series of bedtime stories about him. Danielle also begins to receive what she believes are signs as to Colby's presence, or of Colby wanting to tell her something. As she tries to process what is happening with friends and family, she starts to wonder if the signs are truly meant to show that she's not ready to move on from Colby's memory.
