Determined to have the romantic Christmas she's always wanted, she sets out on a cross-country road trip to surprise her ex-boyfriend and convince him she's the one. But her grand plans are derailed when she drives straight into a snowbank in the middle of nowhere, Utah. She's rescued by Priscilla, a terse, unsmiling bookstore owner with zero interest in holiday cheer. Stranded in the ski town of Brooks with her car out of commission, Alaina makes a bucket list of festive adventures to prove she's fun and adventurous enough to love--and to her surprise, Priscilla offers to join her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetween tree-cutting misadventures, ice-skating lessons, and a night beneath the stars, Alaina's plan goes off without a hitch--except that the longer she spends with Priscilla, the less she's sure of what, or who, she really wants. All throughout Brooks, the two run into locals who adore Priscilla--from the mechanic to the owner of the diner--and soon, it's clear that Priscilla's hard exterior masks a tender heart, one that's just as afraid as Alaina that she's not worth loving. It may just take a Christmas miracle to show them that true love might be closer than you think. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA heartwarming romance packed with small-town cheer, \u003ci\u003eA Very Merry Detour\u003c\/i\u003e is about how opening ourselves up to love--whether it's for friends, family, or home--always makes room for our most authentic selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Court Behr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593979028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593979020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Court Behr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242096537855,"sku":"9780593979020","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ab9f51d-a5db-4cd9-82da-30d6493df11c.jpg?v=1772657501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-very-merry-detour-court-behr-9780593979020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
