Emily Brown is happy with her life in New York City... or at least that's what she tells herself. She has a great job in one of the best libraries in the world and gets to experience the big city during its magical holiday season. But Emily just doesn't quite feel happy. Maybe it's her recent breakup with Dan, the man she thought she would marry, or the strain the break-up has caused on her relationship with her parents. Even though she is surrounded by people in the city, Emily feels lonely.

Moving to New York City after a painful breakup seems like the best plan of action for Emily Brown in Miss Brown’s Christmas by author Robert A. Valle. Besides having a new place to live in one of the busiest of cities, Emily takes a librarian position at New York Public Library and loves what she does. She knows this is what she wants for now, and in time, hopefully everything else will find a resolution for her. But it’s Christmastime, and she has no plans for the holiday because she’s staying away from her parents who live in Pennsylvania.

Miss Brown's Christmas is about two lonely people, Tim and Emily, and their surprising experiences of finding love, in both unexpected and magical ways during Christmas time. Emily is carrying some heavy memories from her last Christmas in her hometown in Pennsylvania. She moves to New York after a heart-breaking break-up and begins working as a librarian. Tim moves from Ohio to pursue a great job offer in New York. He visits the library where Emily works and feels relaxed and recharged. It becomes like his own personal oasis and where he ends up getting acquainted with Emily.
