But when she decides to spend her vacation in Winterwold, a small town where the cold seems to live year-round, Lia carries within her a heart frozen by loss, disappointment, and a faith she no longer knows how to hold on to. Daniel has lived in Winterwold his whole life. Orphaned as a boy, he learned not to expect much from life beyond what his hard work could give him. Owner of a small hotel, he watches tourists come and go while he remains - bound to the routine and solitude he's learned to call home. He believes in love, but not that love was ever meant for him. When Lia checks into his hotel, two quiet worlds collide. She's searching for God's presence in the snow. He's trying to hide from the God he no longer feels. Between late-night talks by the fireplace, shy laughter, and whispered prayers, both will learn that sometimes true warmth doesn't come from the fire - but from forgiveness. Because the strongest kind of love is the one that melts the ice within a soul. And in the end, they'll have to face one question: What's harder - to love someone imperfect, or to let yourself be loved by God?

They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.
