As Christmas approaches, everything seems to be falling into place for Dossie. Her son Clem and his adorable five-year-old son Jakey have moved to Cornwall to be closer to her. She runs her own successful catering business. All she needs now is for the run of bad luck in her romantic life to end.
'We're all pilgrims', he said thoughtfully. 'One way or another, aren't we? Always searching for something'.
Forming a slightly unconventional family setup with Dossie are the
jovial nuns of the local convent and the wonderfully eccentric Janna - a
warm-hearted, generous woman who looks after little Jakey when she's
not helping at the nunnery. With humour, kindness and a deep need of
somewhere to belong, they form a tight bond. But the sisters' life as
they know it is at risk when an avaricious property developer starts
prowling around their Grade I listed building. Will this close-knit unit
who so depend on each other still be together next Christmas? And what
will they have learnt about the true meaning of family?
