Book Synopsis

Get ready for a humorous tale of travel adventure, high emotions, romantic entanglements and cultural discoveries!

The holidays are the busiest time of year for Heather Schmidt at her German bakery and edibles shop, but when her ex just won't leave her alone, she does the one thing she thought she'd never do: run away.

But is it running away, if it's an adventure she's looking forward to?

After posting her charming home on a house exchange site, Heather connects with marketing executive Maria Rodriguez who is equally inclined to escape the holidays. These two women who couldn't be more different ... one from a small town in southwestern Ontario and the other from Boca Bonita, Florida ... embark on a journey in which their lives are about to change dramatically.
