Hot Mr. Scrooge is my neighbor. Hope The man loathes Christmas. What person doesn’t warm up to the best holiday of the year? The cabin I purchased mentioned it needed light work, not a gut renovation. Looks nothing like the picture.

Has a gorgeous face you can stare at all day. And a body you’d love to mount on your sleigh repeatedly. Then I wondered could I help Mr. Non-Christmas ...

Donne che appaiono all'improvviso e all'improvviso scompaiono. Uomini alla ricerca di qualcosa che ignorano e che li spinge oltre i confini del prevedibile. Situazioni consuete che d'un tratto virano nei territori dell'inquietudine. Interviste impossibili. Storie d'amore che nascono nei luoghi più inattesi, in bilico fra sogno e realtà. "Un sorriso lieve le si dipinse sulle labbra a quel ricordo. Sembrava parlasse di una storia d'amore, di un primo bacio, non dell'inseguimento di uno scippatore". Non esiste saggezza è un affresco commovente fatto di domande profonde e illuminazioni repentine.
