As Clem and Jakey settle in to life in Cornwall, they become close to the jovial group of nuns at the local convent.

But when an unexpected event threatens to destroy their way of life, will everyone still be together next Christmas?"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>We're all pilgrims, ' he said thoughtfully.
