"Nothing short of transcendent."— New York Times AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Love comes
home for the challah-days in this sparkling romance. Snow is falling holiday lights are
twinkling and Abby Cohen is pissed . For one thing her most annoying customer Seth has been
coming into her café every morning with his sunshiny attitude determined to break down her
carefully constructed emotional walls. And as the only Jew on the tourism board of her Vermont
town Abby's been charged with planning their fledgling Hanukkah festival. Unfortunately the
local vendors don’t understand that the story of Hanukkah cannot be told with light-up plastic
figures from the Nativity scene even if the Three Wise Men wear yarmulkes. Desperate for
support Abby puts out a call for help online and discovers she was wrong about being the only
Jew within a hundred miles. There's one other: Seth. As it turns out Seth’s parents have
been badgering him to bring a Nice Jewish Girlfriend home to New York City for Hanukkah and if
Abby can survive his incessant irritatingly handsome smiles he’ll introduce her to all the
vendors she needs to make the festival a success. But over latkes doughnuts and winter
adventures in Manhattan Abby begins to realize that her fake boyfriend and his family might
just be igniting a flame in her own guarded heart.
