Like almost everyone else who steps off the bus in New York City, Mary-Kate had high hopes, grand plans, and stars in her eyes. Time had dashed the hopes, reality crushed the plans, and a man named Harry erased the stars. Now she had only enough money to get home to Ohio, and a cold cup of coffee in her hand. A cold night, warm coffee, and a chance stop into a diner changed Joe Carpenter's life forever. He'd stopped in because he hadn't wanted to return to an empty apartment. He stayed because he didn't want to leave her. On Christmas Eve, New York City took Joe and Mary-Kate's dreams, rearranged them, and returned them to two lost souls.14 pages, $1.50
