Life doesn't always turn out as planned. Straight-laced, 28-year old copy editor, Emily Ward, has her five-year plan running on schedule. Then her youngest sister gets engaged, and things blow up in her face. To escape her mother's plotting-and keep her career on course-she finds herself on a plane to Minnesota at Christmas. When she crashes into movie star Deac Roberts in Minneapolis, she can't begin to imagine how her organized life will be upended. Emily is as baffled as her family and friends when she's swept into a romance with Rob Deacon-Deac Roberts' real-life counterpart-but she's convinced that she's been on the wrong track for years. Can she live with a new five-year plan? Or will she keep wishing she went back to that day in December and did everything differently?
