Pastor Mark of the Corwin Congregational Church and Lady Sandra of the Rose Feather Circle, after a leap of faith, begin living together in Mark's old house. Their romantic idyll is soon interrupted, however, by unexpected houseguests. Dr. John Quick, a former member of the Circle, arrives in a state of mental collapse. Soon after, several tool-loving squirrels decide to take up residence in the walls. As fall turns to winter, deadly storms blast Corwin, and a strange and sometimes fatal illness begins to spread through the town. Mark and Sandra and their friends must use all the means at their disposal, both the mundane and the magical, to save the town from disaster. In the end, they receive help from the most mysterious houseguest of all: a certain generous and powerful Lady who manifests in a basement chamber that Mark could have sworn was never there before. But is that mysterious someone a goddess, or a saint? And are Mark and Sandra prepared to receive all her gifts?
