Emma is the story of a single woman living on a farm in current-day Alberta, who longs for finding that someone special in life - her soulmate. The problem is, she lives a fairly isolated life, both emotionally as well as geographically. Her only choice seems to be Bernie, a local farmer who assists on the farm. Bernie is someone who she sometimes fantasizes about, until... he one day introduces her to a handsome and charming immigrant from the Ukraine!
Emma feels she is being swept off her feet by this newcomer, and then makes a discovery that is as humorous as it is gratifying.

Emma is a cute short story. Emma is a 42 year old woman who lives with her Aunt & Uncle. Bernie is a farmer that works on the farm close by, he's also friends with Emma's uncle so he comes over sometimes but him & Emma rarely talk.
Bernie comes over while Emma is home alone and they start talking over coffee. I like how shy & innocent they both seem and it seems realistic, he doesn't seem far fetched at all.
I think the characters are totally relate-able.
I was really hoping rooting for Emma & Bernie to get together. Nickolas really surprised me! I like the fact that he was a lot more open than Bernie and for a few minutes I was thinking about Emma getting with him.
The ending kinda caught me off guard but it left me smiling :)
