Christmas in Caterwaul Creek

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.
