Set against the backdrop of a family house in New England, the novel illustrates how the warmth of Christmas can mend long-standing rifts and foster connections.  The plot centers on Stephen Kingsley, the elderly and ailing brother who yearns to reunite his fragmented family by hosting a Christmas house-party. As family members arrive, tensions rise due to unresolved conflicts, particularly between his brothers Samuel and Sylvester, and the sisters Clara and Isabel.
