Christmas Bessie

Stella's personal life has deteriorated beyond her ability to cope. She divorced her husband. Her friends, all married, want nothing to do with a single woman. Her mother isn't speaking to her. Her new neighbors have never spoken to her. Her furniture attacks her. She can't even get the date right for the Christmas festival she attended in the hopes of gaining some holiday spirit. Then the car in front of her on a dark, snowy highway stops at the side of the road and dumps out a dog, speeding away. Stella doesn't realize how special is this dog until everything in her life changes for the better.
