When Meg and Jess are sent to stay with their grandparents for Christmas, things don’t go well. Pipe-smoking grandpa is grumpy, while mince pie-making grandma is anxious. And the Christmas tree is bent from long neglect in the loft.
In all honesty, the children would prefer to be with their foster parents, Digby and Prunella.
Families can be complicated and sometimes it has to get worse before it can get better. And worse is what it gets.
Can the garden gospel save this family? Can nature be a hand of healing, a green awakening of truth? It would be a miracle. And who believes in miracles these days?
But nature is never spent. And ‘the great garden gospel’, as Meg chooses to call it, is not an adventure her and her brother will ever forget.
