The hero, Matt, is a lonely, brilliant sixteen-year-old who learns to connect with his father, nature, and his classmates. He is taught by Deva, a magical girl and her Irish wolfhound that life is more than a head-trip and that compassionate action can make the world safe for all forms of life.

Two children, one Christian and one Jewish, are separated in Europe during WWII. Claire and Dora find new homes in America and Israel, but continue searching for each and for a faith to sustain them in violent times. Dora becomes a Messianic Jew and her family battles to keep Israel safe from attack. Claire's Christianity matures as she learns how to serve others instead of control them. In their middle-age, both women must helplessly watch their children grow away from them and their values. They try to shield their families from the suffering they themselves endured in Hitler's Europe. But they cannot escape the sorrow of seeing their children swept into social revolution, failed marriages, and wars fought by their adopted countries.In the end, they find each other and a faith that transcends cultural and religious boundaries.

The Ring and the Cross mingles history, fiction, and religion, and is based on real people and events in sixth-century France, when Christian Europe was forming on the ruins of the Roman Empire. The three main characters view the same events from different perspectives. The poet Fortunatus begins as a playboy and ends as the saintly bishop of Poitiers, under the spiritual guidance of his beloved St. Radegund. Queen Brunhild, the original of Wagner's Brunhilde, marries a doomed prince and avenges his murder, against the counsel of St. Radegund. As barbarian hordes storm once-civilized lands, ordinary people must rescue what they can of morality and faith, building a Christian Age on the bits and pieces of the past. The book draws implicit connections between that age and our own.
