Christmas in Caterwaul Creek

By Kay Keppler

Sarah Marcheford feels like an idiot when she gets the brush-off from her fiancé just before Christmas. He'd promised her the moon and the stars—a romantic holiday season as they started their life together in San Francisco. Instead, he tells her he's going back to his wife. Like a dope, she'd fallen for the oldest story in the world.

When her sister calls from upstate New York, Sarah makes a snap decision to visit her for the holidays. But the blizzard of the century closes airports east of Chicago and half the country is immobilized.

Sarah recruits a cabby to drive her to New York, and a pawn shop owner wheedles a ride. The three strangers—one fleeing a broken heart, one fleeing a broken family, and one fleeing the Mob—set out together on a cross-country road trip. Each wants to get away from a painful past. But along the way, they make peace, mend rifts, and find their heart's desire.

Plus a little piece of Sputnik.
