Facing their first Christmas without their beloved Grams, the woman who lovingly raised them, Reed and Avery decide to spend the holiday together at Reed’s home. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when the ferry Avery’s traveling on stalls in the middle of Puget Sound, stranding its passengers and leaving Reed waiting a now undetermined length of time for her arrival. What is at first an inconvenience threatens to ruin the plans of a number of commuters, but Avery and Reed soon discover that this unforeseen delay might end up being be a perfectly timed blessing in disguise.

Predictable but a sweet story

Another heartwarming Macomber story has been added to my collection. The author never disappoints. Macomber deftly creates a close knit group from stranded disgruntled Ferry passengers on their way to holiday gatherings that portend challenging reconnections.

do unto others

What starts out to be a ferry ride of inconvenience... We find turns out to be an opportunity to see and count our blessings in our daily lives.

Good story to read

I liked the narrator's voice but when she changed her voice more masculine she ruined it for me. The story is wonderful as far as I could tolerate. I will pick up the book in the store and read.

The details of what is going on in the story is well done.

I would live to see this as a Hallmark movie. The book is excellent. I started the story in audible on a 2 hour drive, and it was so good that I couldn't put it down.
