In the tradition of John Grisham's Skipping Christmas, Mary Higgins Clark's Silent Night and Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box, a holiday tale that offers humor, romance, mystery and a reminder of what Christmas is all about-by the seven-time New York Times bestselling author. Tom Langdon, a weary and cash-strapped journalist who was banned from flying in the U.S. when an overly probing search wand caused him to blow his top at LaGuardia Airport, must get to Los Angeles for Christmas so that he can be with his girlfriend, straight-to-video movie actress Lelia Gibson.To circumvent his flying problem, he comes up with the idea of a story about a train ride taken during Christmas season, which he pitches to his ex-flame editor, Eleanor. Thereupon begins one of the most hilarious-and heartwarming-train rides ever. This story will reacquaint you with what makes Christmas truly special.
