Young Caucasian Dan Dunne teaches history and coaches the girls basketball team at a Brooklyn high school populated primarily by black and Hispanic students. To the chagrin of his superiors, Dan bucks the outlined curriculum of historical facts in favor of the philosophy of historical events, generally discussing the concept of dialectics. As such, he captures the imagination of his students, at least in the classroom. Outside of the classroom, Dan's life is in shambles. He has a distant but cordial relationship with his family. He uses illicit drugs rampantly. Although his former girlfriend Rachel was able to clean up her drug habit, Dan believes that rehab will not work for him. Due to a combination of these issues, he treats women poorly. Thirteen-year-old Drey is a student in his class and a player on his basketball team. Drey has her own problems. Her parents are divorced, with her father a virtually non-existent figure in her life and her EMT mother generally absent as she is always working to provide for Drey. Her older brother Mike is incarcerated for selling drugs for a local dealer named Frank. Mike took the fall for Frank, who in turn protects Drey whether she wants to be associated with him or not. Dan and Drey's relationship changes when Drey catches Dan, believing he is alone, smoking crack in the girl's locker room bathroom. He is totally stoned. Their resulting friendship, which is seen as inappropriate by the few who know, is based on each being unable to deal with their own life, but feeling like they can be at least a minor salvation in the other's life.

It's been three years since Doug Monroe died during the lead-up to Christmas. His widow, Lindsey Monroe, a planner with the Township of Gilford, has been reluctant to do Christmas ever since as Doug was an integral part of the Monroe family Christmas routine. Lindsey, who has not been able to put Doug behind her, is finally able to put up Christmas decorations this year for the first time since Doug's death. Their now-preteen daughter Hannah is excited to have the Christmas spirit in the house again if only in this small way. Hannah is desperately wishing for and expecting a puppy for Christmas, something that Lindsey does not want to oblige for reasons she has not told Hannah. This Christmas season at her work, Lindsey must deal with Mayor Fred Barnes' supposed pet project: rebuilding the long-gone gazebo in the town square exactly as it was, to be completed in time for the historic Christmas-Eve town lighting. He has hired Scott Terrell, new to Gilford, to build the gazebo. The problem is that there are no records of the old gazebo itself. While Lindsey believes any gazebo will do with the primary goal of getting it done for the lighting ceremony Scott is determined to build the gazebo exactly as it was. While attending a Christmas bazaar at the church, Hannah is given a Christmas stocking by one of the bazaar merchants, an elderly woman no one seems to know. When Hannah hangs the stocking on their fireplace mantel, inexplicable things begin to happen to her, Lindsey, and Lindsey's exuberant mother Donna Chastain that bring more and more Christmas spirit back into their lives. Hannah and Donna start to believe that the stocking has magical Christmas-spirit-returning powers, and Hannah receiving the stocking was absolutely no accident.

Love's Complicated
Lea Townshend has always been a people pleaser. From her childhood as a senator's daughter to her career as a successful author, Lea goes out of her way to avoid conflict. So strong is her desire to keep the people around her happy that Lea is also too afraid to let her longtime boyfriend Edward Crouse know that their relationship is in a rut-the same date night, at the same restaurant, with the same food, week in and week out. And to top it all off, her second novel is proving much more difficult to write than the first. When Lea and Edward have a minor disagreement at Edward's faculty party (it barely qualifies as a spat) Edward enrolls her in a group conflict resolution class. There, she meets Cinco Dublin, a shock-jock radio host attending the class by court order. His family has a pricly past with the Townshends: Cinco Sr., a renowned journalist, went toe-to-toe with Senator Townshend when he was in office and the bad blood still remains. Lea bristles at Cinco's brashness and can't see past the scathing review he gave her debut novel. As they meet for conflict resolution class each week, Lea sees some cracks in Cinco's façade, but can't get past their differences. She finds herself torn between two men: dependable Edward, loving even if he is predictable; and Cinco with all his bluster, who makes Lea feel alive. As Lea learns how to be comfortable with conflict in her daily life, can she resolve the one deep within her heart?
