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...
