Isabel Lawson is standing on the balcony of her suite at the
Hotel Crillon as she gazes at the twinkling lights of the
Champs Elysee and wonders if she’s made a terrible mistake.
She was supposed to be visiting the Christmas tree in the
Place de la Concorde, and eating escargots and macaroons
with her new husband on their honeymoon. But a week before
the wedding, she called it off. Isabel is an ambitious
Philadelphia finance woman, and Neil suddenly decided to
take over his grandparents’ farm. Isabel wasn’t ready to
trade her briefcase for a pair of rubber boots and a saddle.
When Neil suggested she use their honeymoon tickets for
herself, she thought it would give her a chance to clear her
head. That is until she locks herself out on the balcony in
the middle of winter. Thankfully her neighbor Alec, a French
children’s illustrator, comes to her rescue. He too is
nursing a broken heart at the Crillon for the holidays. With
a new friend by her side, Isabel is determined to use her
time in the city of lights wisely. After a chance encounter
with a fortune teller and a close call with a taxi, she
starts to question everything she thought was important.
Christmas in Paris is a moving and heartwarming story
about love, trust, and self-discovery. Set during the most
magical week of the year, the glorious foods and fashions of
the most romantic city in the world are sure to take your
breath away.
