A Train Is Late This Christmas —a magical romantic comedy from CP Ward, author of Christmas at Snowflake Lodge and Autumn at the Willow River Guesthouse . It’s the weekend before Christmas, and 35-year-old office nobody Julia Adams is heading home from Brentwell to spend the holidays with her family. Fresh from seeing her ex-boyfriend locked up after stealing and trashing her car, it doesn’t matter that less desirable family are visiting and her old room had been given to her nightmarish cousins, home is home. However, fate has other ideas, and when a freak snowstorm leaves the train delayed and the passengers marooned in the tiny village of Birch Valley, Julia is about to embark on a Christmas adventure like no other. Against a backdrop of Christmas tree farms, wolves, and bad karaoke, Julia could be able to find that special person so far missing from her life. Or is there another twist in the fairy tale? From CP Ward, the much-loved author of Christmas at the Marshamallow Café, Autumn in Sycamore Park, and Summer at Blue Sands Cove, comes another magical Christmas romantic comedy to warm your heart by the fireside on cold winter nights.
