He limped up the stairs and opened the door. So who's the new nursery buyer?

Well, when he's out of his meeting, would you have him call me? The Holly Wreath Man evokes this lost craft along with the lost true meaning of Christmas. The story centers on Jeff Henderson, a frenetic executive who is separated from his wife and struggling to be a good father to his two children. When his children run away, he ends up back on the holly farm where he spent his childhood with his mother and grandfather. An injury and a subsequent dream transport him back to the days of helping his family and community make holly wreaths.

A snowstorm, runaway children, and his past and present relationships--including a troubled one with his own son--all play a part in this moving tale of rediscovering what is truly important in life.
