The Christmas Prayer

Susan Johnson never gave much thought to her dreams. She rarely even remembered them. That changed after she met Michael Caldwell in the airport while waiting for a flight home for Thanksgiving. As they chat, waiting for their delayed flight, Michael tells her of his plan to look into the history of his family's farm in Wisconsin. That night, at home, Susan wakes from a curious dream about a farm in Wisconsin. Attributing it to Michael's mention of his family farm, she considers it just a coincidence. On the following nights, however, she continues to dream about the farm, each dream starting where the last one ended. In Wisconsin, Michael learns that the farm was bought by his great-great-grandfather from the son of a man who disappeared on Christmas Day in 1898. Intrigued by this, he decides to see if he can learn more about the disappearance. He is helped by a 105-year-old woman whose mother was a friend of the farmer's daughter. What he learns only heightens his desire to solve the mystery. When Susan calls to see how his research into the farm's history is going, she discovers that everything he's learned matches what she's been seeing in her dreams. At first unable to understand how that could be possible, Susan begins to feel that the dreams are meant to help Michael find the answer. Working together, they begin to believe they know the reason for the dreams. But do they?
