The Hero and the Holly

Friends from different religious backgrounds gather together to celebrate Yule, Christmas, and New Year's.

Each brings a tradition to the wintry farm known as Cheshire Acres. Each brings personal history, triumphs and tragedies. There are Kate and Piers, siblings who have figured out the business side of the farm, but a few ideas slip through their fingers. Darien, Piers' spouse, is afraid to mention his restlessness. Wiccan Lucy and her wife Marisol haven't spent a Yule away from home in twelve years. Lucy and Marisol's teenaged daughter Tempest tries to discover her own spiritual path with the help of visiting Druid Atticus Klein. And Atticus has his own heartache to battle through. The fun-loving, klutzy Christian, Davis Jude, just wants to reach Cheshire Acres in one piece.

Strangers form a bond as the house is decorated for Yule and Christmas, as Atticus builds a spiritual labyrinth of snow in a field on the farm. When disaster imperils one of them, prayers and spells seamlessly unite.
