Soon, the young woman garners the attention of Tom, the single and very handsome sheriff of the town, and Mary can't help but play matchmaker. When Teresa's daughter is kidnapped by her dangerous ex-husband, Mary and Teresa are forced to rely on the young sheriff, each other, and more importantly, God. Will Teresa's daughter be rescued? Will Mary receive a special Christmas gift this year-the one thing she has always wanted in her life? A Christmas Gift for Mary Jones is an inspirational story of faith, family, and love.
