When the department store she works in closes its doors, Carmen has little cash and few options. She moves in with her sister, Sofia, with her perfect house, her perfect children and her perfectly ordered Edinburgh life. Sofia has always been sarcastic and difficult, but with another baby on the way and a client who needs a retail assistant for his ailing bookshop, she asks Carmen to help. Will revamping old Mr. McCredie's ancient bookshop in time to benefit from Christmas shopping traffic help heal the rift between the sisters? -- adapted from jacket
