A delightful, old-fashioned love story with a uniquely 21st-century twist, Landing is a romantic comedy that explores the pleasures and sorrows of long-distance relationships — the kind millions of us now maintain mostly by plane, phone and Internet. (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)

From the book
It was like wanting ice cream instead of meat loaf, and being told that children in refugee camps would be grateful for the meat loaf. Yes, of course she had nothing to complain about, compared to so many people, but when had that ever stopped anyone from complaining? Happiness was a balloon that always hovered just out of arm's reach.
