"I’ve always been a HUGE animal lover! I’ve rescued fallen birds, hurt squirrels, and helped lost animals find their way back home. My favorite story is when I found a cat in our backyard with no tags or chip. It was the cutest cat I’d ever seen. He was grey and looked like a tiger. I gave it some food and hoped it would find its way back home eventually, but days later he still lingered around, so I asked my dad if we could keep him until we found his home. We never did and we kept him. We called him Goofball. The name was quite appropriate because he would play fetch, run down the hall and jump off the walls, and would meow like he was trying to talk to us. He would even curl up with me at night and sleep along side of me. I miss that little guy!"
With Christmas just weeks away, the architecture firm Taylor works for enters her in a contest in which the teams will design and build life sized gingerbread houses. After the contest, Taylor will likely be getting a promotion to a position in another city. The firm teams her up with Annabelle, a renowned French pastry chef with whom Taylor instantly locks horns. When Annabelle backs out, Taylor stumbles into a local bakery and meets Adam, a baker and single dad. In an act of desperation, Taylor convinces Adam to partner with her for the contest, arguing that winning would give the bakery and his designs much needed exposure. For years Taylor has been resistant to call anywhere “home” for fear it will only be temporary. But the time she spends with Adam and his daughter Brook in their cozy home, decorating for Christmas, and exploring Philadelphia at Christmas, fills her with a longing for a place to call home. Starring Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Duane Henry.
