Still spry at ninety-three, Theodora has lived long enough to
see her family grow into an insufferable bunch of truculent
knuckleheads. Having finally gathered the whole bickering brood
together for the holidays at her South Carolina home, the grand
matriarch pines wistfully for those extravagant, homey Christmases
of her childhood. How she misses the tables groaning with
home-cooked goodies, the over-the-top decorations, those long,
lovely fireside chats with Pearl, her grandmother's beloved
housekeeper and closest confidante. These days, where is the love
and the joy . . . and the peace?
But this is, after all, a magical time. Someone very special has
heard Theodora's plea--and is about to arrive at her door with
pockets full of Gullah magic and enough common sense to transform
this Christmas into the miracle it's truly meant to be.
