In Cape Light, Christmas brings unexpected challenges and gifts that never will be forgotten.
David has returned home after serving in Iraq to find everything changed. His widowed father, Jack has remarried; he has a young stepsister in the house; and he’s dealing with trauma and physical injuries that may never heal. His old dreams of becoming a police officer or a firefighter are now gone, and he has no idea what his future holds other than a difficult recovery. He’s having trouble joining in the cheer of the Christmas season, especially when Christine, his ex-girlfriend, comes to work at Jack’s tree farm. Trying not to seem bitter or discouraged is even harder than the physical therapy he must undergo, and David realizes that he not only needs to heal his body but his heart as well.
