Domestic tale of a heart's repentance. A cross, covetous, exhausted woman, Mrs. Mary Moore, finds herself alone on Christmas Eve having driven her family temporarily away. Grudgingly counting the cost of her husband Moses' generosity, she dreams of a beautiful chapel which opens her heart to generosity and love. Simple; competent. (PB)
