synopsis on back of book.....

Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don't. She's firmly in the second category, so it's ironic that her first assignment for her local newspaper is a series of articles about... fruitcake.

Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means flying around the state with local pilot Oliver Hamilton. Unfortunatley Emma hates small planes - almost as much as she hates fruitcake. But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Emma meets three wise women who know a lot about fruitcake - and about life - and it also seems Oliver is not quite the Scrooge he appears...
It all reminds Emma that there really is something about Christmas!
