A Christmas Surprise
It's old, the roof leaks, the floors creak - but it's nothing less than a palace for Anna Stolberg and her kids. Anna runs an orphanage in the run-down mansion she rents from Mr. Witt, and her kids are the dozen children she loves with all her heart. Shortly before Christmas, Anna gets mail from Witt - but it's an eviction notice, not a Christmas card. Anna and her kids must move out. Witt may be an old grouch, but why this sudden Scrooge-like meanness? Burning with determination, Anna launches a campaign to overturn the eviction. But even though she's got the town's leading citizens on her side, Anna's got one mighty opponent: the corrupt realtor Merkel, who wants to turn the orphanage into a profitable senior-citizen residence. He's already tricked Witt into signing over his property to him, and he's allied himself with Anna's ambitious assistant, who's ready to undermine Anna's efforts. But no one's reckoned with Georgina, an adorable little orphan who melts old Witt's icy heart and turns him into formidable fighter. With Anna and Witt as a team, maybe the children will be able to spend the holidays in their beloved house after all…
