Book description
Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two
kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don't. She's
firmly in the second category, so it's ironic that her first major
assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of
articles about. . . fruitcake. At least it's a step up from writing
obituaries. Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe
contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually. . . flying
around the state. Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, who's starting an
airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in
exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes
almost as much as she hates fruitcake. But in the weeks leading up to
Christmas, Emma falls for Oliver (who's not quite the Scrooge he
sometimes seems) and his mutt, Oscar (who's allergic to her perfume,
which makes him sneeze repeatedly). And she meets three wise women who
know a lot about fruitcake and even more about life. It all reminds her
that there's something about Christmas. Something special. . . Emma
