SYNOPSIS:

Holly’s not your ordinary 10-year old girl growing up in a yokel, farming community in 1947. She knows her health is fragile and tells this to her best friend, Ray, an African-American boy. She makes Ray promise to hold on to her only valuable possession, a gold locket. One year later and It’s almost Christmas, and Heaven is filled with smiling angels waiting eagerly to be reborn to a loving family on Earth. Except when God announces it’s time for Holly to leave, she tells him she's not going, no way—she’s perfectly happy where she is. A deal at the last minute is made: she’s given the two weeks before Christmas to visit Earth and pick her next set of parents. If she doesn’t find them, the next year, she’ll randomly be assigned to a family. The Heavenly Dog will accompany Holly and remind her when two weeks are up. Holly lands in the middle of a busy downtown street. She runs to the safety of the sidewalk only to see her reflection—a child in an adult body. She quickly begins her mission to find her new Mom and Dad. After checking out every place a family with kids might hang out, she finds potential parents except they aren't married to each other. The promising-future Dad is engaged to another woman, and the hopeful-future Mom is a young widow, too busy trying to work and provide for her two children, let alone have time for a date. What follows are the hilarious adventures where everything goes wrong as Holly tries to break up Dad's engagement and have his attention directed to Mom. As Holly pours her secrets and broken heart to a 78-year old neighbor, Ray, the two realize they know each other from her previous life on Earth as neighboring children. The Heavenly Dog appears on Christmas Eve to take Holly home. She follows him, knowing she failed her mission on Earth: her potential Dad’s marriage is tomorrow to the wrong woman. But things change and the Earth moves and God watches over all. At the last hour, Dad’s fiancée finds her real soul mate and realizes a marriage is not just a convenience and a partnership, and cancels her wedding to Future Dad. Holly’s dream future mom was waiting in the background and marries Dad. One year later—Mom and Dad are expecting a baby. They name her Holly in honor of the woman who brought them together and then disappeared in a cloud of smoke with a little dog. Ray holds Baby Holly just before his heart takes its last beat. In Heaven, Ray looks down on the Earth. God announces, “It’s time for you to be reborn. And by the way, you and Holly will be next door neighbors this time around.”
