After years of putting aside her dreams of travel and adventure, Bailey George is ready to leave Lanford Falls and her responsibilities behind on a long-awaited vacation to New York City. But when the volunteer who took over her leadership position for the town's Winter Wonderfest has a medical emergency, Bailey finds herself stuck in Lanford Falls. She gets roped into reassuming her old role, not wanting to let the town or her friends and family down. Staying home seems slightly less terrible when Bailey runs into her high-school crush, Maria Hatcher. A kiss they shared years ago in the town's mistletoe grove was a life-defining moment for them both. Maria quickly offers to pitch in and help with Winter Wonderfest. Her sunny disposition and holiday cheer perk up Bailey's grinchy feelings about everything. However, one disaster after another snowball on the day of the festival. Bailey’s frustration boils over, and she ends up on the town's old wooden bridge. There, she meets fabulous drag queen Clara Angel. Bailey declares that she wishes she hadn’t been born in this Christmas-obsessed, suffocating small town. With a little of the magic Clara possesses, she shows Bailey how wrong she is about Lanford Falls and her place in it—and that with a little hope and some true holiday spirit, there is a way to attain all her dreams.

Kelly Farmer is the author of the Out on the Ice series. She has been writing romance novels since junior high. Her stories have changed over time, but one theme remains the same: everyone deserves to have a happy ending. She loves telling tales with a touch of snark and a lot of heart. When not writing, she enjoys being outside in nature, quoting from 80s movies, listening to all kinds of music, and petting every dog she comes in contact with.

Mia Hutchinson-Shaw is a queer actor and voice artist based in NYC. She came to narration with a background in classical and period-drama theater and trained in the UK at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. When not performing, she is thrifting for her next outrageous, colorful clothing item, getting on her soapbox about low-waste living, or hunting handmade jewelers for a new item for her collection of giant earrings.

Pete Cross is an award-winning audiobook narrator and engineer who earned his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. A multiple Earphones Awards winner and Audie finalist, he was nominated for a SOVAS award for his narration of Moby Dick and received the 2022 Audie Award for Ryan La Sala’s Be Dazzled and the 2023 Odyssey Award for Ryan La Sala’s The Honeys.

Reviews

"Narrator Mia Hutchinson-Shaw voices Bailey, skillfully capturing her frustrations and joy while conveying the festive charm of small-town life. Narrator Pete Cross provides a vivacious performance of Clara and her drag queen companions." - Library Journal "Mia Hutchinson–Shaw and Pete Cross narrate a festive gay update of a holiday classic. Hutchinson–Shaw creates a nuanced portrait of Bailey, expressing all her emotions without sounding petulant. Cross gives Clara Angel and her two companions plenty of opportunities to shine in their small but pivotal roles as they guide Bailey on her journey." - Audiofile Magazine Expand reviews
