    Summary

    New York City, 1916. It's winter in The City, with Christmas fast approaching. Roasted chestnuts, snow in the air, warmly-bundled sleigh rides in Central Park, the sweet sound of carolers and bells on streetcorners, nights curled up before a cozy fire, a Christmas gala to attend—possibility thrums around every corner as the vibrant city bustles away winter's chill.

    A couple from the mountain frontier of Northwestern Canada has made a long journey by steam train to visit an intrepid young NYC reporter. With them, they bring a later-in-life, long-awaited joy. . . 'Tis the season for mistletoe and Holly, after all!
