Glad Tidings

the long version

CHRISTMAS NEWS! READ ALL ABOUT IT!This is a time for families, for togetherness, for memories. On Christmas Eve, Maryanne and Nolan Adams tell their kids the story they most want to hear-how Mom and Dad met and fell in love. It all started when they were reporters on rival Seattle papers. . . and next thing you know, Here Comes Trouble!Christmas is also a time for. . . fruitcake. Rookie reporter Emma Collins hates fruitcake; for that matter, she hates Christmas, too. When three Washington State women are finalists in a national fruitcake contest, the story is assigned to her. That's bad enough. It gets worse when she has to fly in a small plane (scary!) with a smart-aleck pilot named Oliver Hamilton (sexy!) and his scruffy dog (cute!). In the end she meets three wise women, falls in love and learns There's Something About Christmas.
