"believe in a Christmas miracle"

Cupid is cursed due to a prank he pulled on a witch. For centuries he's been spending his life as a deer and not just any deer, but one of Santa's deers. Every year Santa brings him to a town and turns him into ice, where Cupid waits for someone to love him and break the curse.

Mercy Devers owns her own business out of her home. Since she was injured in a fire that left her disfigured she doesn't leave her home much. One night while walking towards town square she finds some ice sculptures. One calls to her in a way, a lone deer that seems too sad and alone just like herself. But does she believe in a Christmas miracle?

Sierra Dafoe brings her readers into the lives of her characters and has them hoping for the best. The readers want to see Cupid redeem himself as well as see Mercy find the love she deserves, despite her appearance. This short story does well in drawing in the readers and explaining their lives, fears and dreams in the pages. A great story to read when you don't have a lot of time, but want a satisfying read.

Until one Christmas Eve when she spies an ice sculpture in the town square. An ice sculpture of a reindeer so beautiful it takes her breath away…
