Yuki Hirano is just out of high school when his parents enroll him, against his will, in a forestry training program in the remote mountain village of Kamusari. No phone, no internet, no shopping. Just a small, inviting community where the most common expression is “take it easy.” At first, Yuki is exhausted, fumbles with the tools, asks silly questions, and feels like an outcast. Kamusari is the last place a city boy from Yokohama wants to spend a year of his life. But as resistant as he might be, the scent of the cedars and the staggering beauty of the region have a pull.

College junior Olin Sloane has never been the volunteering type, but when he’s nudged into joining an adopt-a-grandparent program, he figures it could be good for him.

When Lucy’s childhood sweetheart stands her up on their wedding day, leaving her alone on a plane eloping to the tropical location of his choosing, their dream—now feeling like just her dream—of their bairn filled future disappears in a heartbeat (or the time it takes for her to listen to the rambling drunken voicemail he left calling off the wedding).

Farm vet Emma knows what it’s like to go without and when she has the opportunity to share the cost of her accommodation for Christmas, she’s quick to agree. But when she meets self-assured city vet Oli, who’s trying his hand at rural practice before he takes off on his next adventure, he’s the last person she wants invading her home and their lives couldn’t be more opposite. Oli’s exactly the kind of man likely to leave a trail of broken hearts in his wake, and after a crushing break-up straight out of university, Emma isn’t going let herself fall for his charms like everyone else.

Frankie, kneading dough through the night and shaping croissants to bake for morning, hopes the bakery will keep her safe from the heartbreak of her past.
