On a cross-country road trip, Robin can't stop thinking about her ex-boyfriend. Carol has grown increasingly unhappy in her long marriage to Gerald. On a summer Saturday, Christine comes through for Dalia in an important way. Pat takes his girlfriend, Katie, to San Francisco for what he hopes will be a romantic proposal. Beth's son, Jonah, gets called to the principal's office; and Jamie gets a scare from her elderly mother. With her radiant stories, Colleen Alles wants to tell you it's often the case that deep connections to other people-sometimes friends, sometimes sweethearts, sometimes spouses-help restore what's broken. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colleen Alles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960329650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960329653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornerstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Colleen Alles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46907032371455,"sku":"9781960329653","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddacb0a6-121c-49ff-af44-452feac0bfd3.jpg?v=1748772113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/close-to-a-flame-colleen-alles-9781960329653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
