As the holidays draw near, she's missing him—again and again. . . . "[Mitchell's] writing is deliciously funny and has so much heart." —Sandy Barker, author of One Summer in Santorini

Emily feels like her life's been shattered into tiny pieces and glued back together the wrong way. With her heart still aching after her sister's sudden death, Emily has stepped up to care for her nine-year-old nephew, Felix. Trying to do the right thing, she also ended her two-year relationship with Rory, who wasn't ready to settle down, so she could focus on Felix.

But when she takes Felix into London to see the Christmas displays, he wanders off and the two of them wind up on a train to Leeds . . . where Rory just happens to live. The long ride will give her time to reflect on whether she made a mistake letting Rory go. But as Rory embarks on his own journey at the same time, will the three of them manage to cross paths in time for Christmas?
