About this listen

A young woman tries to heal a rift in her elderly pen pal’s family in time for Christmas, all while falling in love—and maybe even reuniting with her own family—in this dazzling romance from the author of Always, in December and One Last Gift

Sometimes it takes a stranger to bring you back to yourself.

Ever since a car accident tore her family apart, Holly has been part of a lonely-hearts holiday letter-writing club. Each December, she writes to a stranger who is also spending Christmas alone, and receives a letter from another lonely person in return.

Usually, the letters go unanswered. That’s the point—the letters are anonymous, and the senders write whatever is in their heart. But this year, the letter Holly receives is different; not only is the letter full of a grief she knows all too well, but its writer, Emma, mentions a place that Holly has visited. When she realizes that she might actually be able to find the letter’s author, Holly becomes determined to reunite Emma with the estranged grandson, Jack, with whom Emma is desperate to reconnect.

When Holly finally tracks him down, she remembers that she’s met Jack once before . . . and the connection was electric. The spark between the two of them is still there—until a misunderstanding risks their burgeoning romance and his strained relationship with Emma, too. But Holly is determined; if she can fix Emma’s family, she might also be able to fix her own. Though as it turns out, Holly might have less time to put things right than she thought.

Critic reviews

"Heather Long shows listeners the complexity of blame and forgiveness in a compelling Christmas-themed audio.... The highlight of Long's narration is its incremental changes in perception: Holly's slightly scattered, impulsive personality is revealed in an ever-shifting light. Long gives listeners an audiobook that is life changing in its reflections on family relationships." (AudioFIle)

This was my first book by Emily Stone and I immediately bought another upon finishing it, which should tell you something. The writing was good, the story was engaging and believable. I really liked the pacing; so often romances are on super compressed timelines, but this one was spread over a whole year. am Also there was just the right amount of Christmas so that it felt like a touchstone without taking over the whole book. The characters felt fully formed and there were so many lovely little details that grounded everything. It's a great romance, but nothing explicit. it's fully "fade to black". I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

just the right blend of sweet and melancholy

I loved this story. I highly
Recommend. I connected with the characters instantly, It’s a lovely story of love, friendship, loss and the struggles life presents to every one of us. I I also do not believe in fate and maybe that’s part of the reason I enjoyed this so much. Because clearly, that notion was laughing in our face.
