Christmas Between Us

When an ordinary business trip turns into every family’s worst nightmare, ten-year-old Noah Bennett is the only one who knows deep in his bones that his father isn’t gone.

Back home in rain-soaked Seattle, Christmas lights blur through hospital glass and TV news reports. The world calls it an accident. His mom, Jenna, is hanging on by a thread—juggling bills, relatives, and a grief so sharp she can barely look at her son. But Noah keeps waking in the night with the same vivid images: snow, firelight, mountains… and his dad, injured but alive, somewhere out there in the winter wilderness.

Everyone tells him it’s just his imagination.

Everyone except Uncle Ethan, the “woo-woo” martial arts instructor the family loves and teases in equal measure. Ethan believes Noah’s visions might be more than dreams—an invisible thread tying father and son together when the world says they’ve been torn apart.

As storms close in over the mountains and Christmas draws near, Jenna is forced to face the fears and patterns that have ruled her life. Noah must find the courage to speak what he sees. And far from home, a father fights to follow a pull he can’t explain… back toward the boy who refuses to give up on him.

Tender, gripping, and full of hard-won hope, Christmas Between Us is a clean, emotional holiday story about a fractured family, a boy’s quiet gift, and the miracle of finding your way back to each other when it matters most.
