"Don't let the sleepy, little town of Pilaf, Ohio fool you. While there is always something of interest happening, this cozy town comes alive during the Christmas season. In his second year as owner of Bailey's Country Store, Danny Rice plays an important role in a first-time contest which brings the entire town together on New Year's Eve. The event paves the way for a carefully-planned, life-changing moment that doesn't exactly go as planned. All this is happening while the entire town is looking for a grinch who apparently isn't fond of George the mailman's Christmas display."--Page 4 of cover
