Jo is a highly successful children's author, but her first attempt at writing for a slightly older audience doesn't appeal to the publisher. She's given two weeks to come up with something new. The problem is, it's Christmas and she's heading home to celebrate with her three sisters, so she's forced to combine the holiday with developing a new concept. In the meantime, the publisher sends Fritz, one of their editors, to support Jo in coming up with a better idea. He travels there but misses the chance to explain why he's there, and instead becomes acquainted with Jo, whose sisters encourage her to spend time with Fritz.
