Miracle in the Manger

Two worlds separated by fear and anger collide at a most unlikely time and place.

During Isabella Alcantara's seventh month of pregnancy, her parents and siblings are murdered in gang- and drug-related violence - in a home targeted by mistake.  Isabella knows the same thing could easily happen to her and her husband, Francisco.  When her grandfather offers to hire a "coyote" to bring them across the border to America, she agrees.

Living on one of the smaller spreads along the Arizona border, Miriam Nelson becomes furious with God and turns from her faith when her border patrol agent husband, David, is killed in a skirmish with drug smugglers.  Her mother and young son do their best to woo her back from anger and bitterness.

Isabella and Miriam - one driven by fear and a promise, the other by bitterness and revenge - must make their journeys along different pathways to the same destination on Christmas Eve.  Forced to face their personal demons, Isabella and Miriam soon discover a common yearning to bind them together in a most miraculous way.
