It all began with a letter and concluded with a love tale.
Every December, Josie dispatches a letter from her residence in London to the parents she lost on that fateful Christmas night many years ago. Consistently, she pens the same three words: “Missing you, always.” However, this year, her customary journey to the postbox takes an unexpected turn when she collides with a charming stranger on a bicycle—a collision that will alter the trajectory of Josie’s life.
Josie, who believed she was the lone Christmas season evader, discovers that Max has his own reasons for avoiding the festivities this year, leading to an unplanned holiday spent together. Illuminated by newfound love, Josie envisions the possibility of something extraordinary unfolding.
Yet, Max vanishes without a farewell.
Over the ensuing year, Josie and Max will discover that fate continually brings them together in unexpected locales: New York City, Edinburgh, the serene English countryside. As it turns out, Max had compelling reasons to depart and equally compelling reasons to stay. What lies ahead for Josie and Max as Christmas looms once more?
A heart-wrenching, romantic, and affirming tale of love, “Always, in December” will linger in readers’ hearts long after they’ve turned the final page.
