This is the inspiring true story of how a cherished Christmas carol came to be. Renowned poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow experiences a devastating tragedy that shatters his peaceful life. As the nation grapples with the Civil War and his family faces hardship, Longfellow loses his ability to write, overwhelmed by grief. However, the sound of Christmas morning ultimately rekindles his faith and inspires him to find his voice once more, leading to the creation of a timeless and beloved song.
