A lonely, grieving woman, a quaint cottage by the sea, a mysterious painting on the wall, and the power of love.

When Meg's sister dies, she is devastated. The last of three children, Meg misses her siblings and has never felt so alone. She's an author, but her emotional state hinders her writing ability, and she can't sit in front of her computer without trembling. A trip to Port Revere, MA, recalls memories of the summers spent there with her family when she was a girl, and Meg decides to buy the Christmas Cottage, an abandoned little house on a bluff near town. She refurbishes it and, with the help of her nephew Zack, starts to come out of her shell. But then the holidays, a time for families and celebrations, arrive, and Meg must again face her loneliness and guilt over something she can't forgive herself for – she wasn't there when her sister died and never had a chance to say goodbye. With the cottage almost completed, Meg has one last thing to do; she has to find out if her plumbing is up to snuff and arranges for a plumber to visit the cottage. On Thanksgiving Day, a knock on the door brings an unexpected guest. She looks out the window and sees an old man in an old truck with an old dog. Lettering on the truck announces that Angus O'Malley, Plumber Extraordinaire, is standing on her doorstep. Little does Meg know that Angus is on a mission and that his appearance heralds the beginning of something extraordinary and the best Christmas Meg has ever had.
