(Evan Sabara) and niece Alanna (Mae Whitman) when their drug-addicted
mother (Laura Dern) overdoses and the kids are threatened with foster care.
Emilie has nowhere to run until they land in the sleepy town of Bethlehem just
before Christmas. Even though the authorities have been temporarily left behind,
Emily will need a miracle to keep her family together. A versatile guardian angel
(Patty Duke), who assumes a variety of earthly guises, helps, along with the
small town-folk who are surprisingly friendly. One coincidence after another gives    Distributed by      CBS

what makes it a good Christmas classic.[2]                                             Running time               90 minutes
