Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born. It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together.

Nina Redmondová je devětadvacetiletá knihomolka s hustými dlouhými hnědými vlasy, bledou pihatou pletí a neustálým plachým ruměncem ve tváři a právě dostala padáka!

Knihám totiž rozumí a je v nich vážně dobrá. Proto její přátele překvapí, že se doopravdy rozhodne jít za svým snem koupit si dodávku a přeměnit ji na pojízdné knihkupectví. Jenže ona žije v Birminghamu a dodávka, která vyhovuje jejím nárokům je ve Skotsku.

In Edinburgh naht der Winter! Höchste Zeit, die Christbaumkugeln zu entstauben, Plätzchen zu backen und die Schaufenster festlich zu dekorieren – eigentlich... Stattdessen aber wird die Buchhandlung, in der Carmen arbeitet, zum Drehort eines kitschigen Weihnachtsfilms, ihre Schwester setzt sie glatt vor die Tür, und die Liebe ihres Lebens hat dringende Verpflichtungen auf der anderen Seite der Welt. Fast könnte man da den Glauben an die Magie der Weihnacht verlieren... Doch dann verrät ihr schrulliger älterer Chef Carmen einen Herzenswunsch, der vielleicht nie mehr in Erfüllung gehen wird.

Carmen aner ikke sine levende råd. Hendes skønne boghandel er lånt ud som location til en corny julefilm, hun er blevet smidt ud af sin søsters hus, og hendes livs kærlighed er fløjet tusinder af kilometer væk. Det bliver næppe en særlig glædelig jul i år... Men da boghandlens tidligere ejer fortæller Carmen om et hjerteskærende juleønske, beslutter hun sig for at ryste sit dårlige humør af sig og gøre alt, hvad hun kan for at opfylde det. Tiden er ved at rinde ud, men heldigvis får Carmen hjælp fra både naboer, familiemedlemmer og en meget distraherende mandlig barnepige.
