"Silent night, holy night," the voices ring, reaffirming faith and mutual devotion
-''f^m
OUTSIDE, the little town of Elmwood is n winter fairyland. The scattered small homes, each with its candlelit windows, green-trimmed doors, sparkle as if some generous Santa Claus had tossed a handful of jewels onto the earth to beautify it. Safe indoors, the Young family, warm with the Yuletide spirit, gather at the home of Grandfather and Grandmother Young to eelehrate. On this night, the troubles of the year are put aside. Forgotten for the moment are the developments involving Pepper's work for the new venture in which he and his friend Dave Wallace have been so absorbed . . . the mysterious Pinedale company, headed by Eric Matthews -a chemical engineer and a stranger in Elmwood. Eric is fast growing closer to the Young family, both as co-worker and as personal friend. ... To Peggy Young Trent, forced by divorce to rear her daughter Ivy and son Hal alone, the presence of the attractive Eric as ne.xtdoor neighbor has been disturbing. Is .she falling in love with this man of the world — so dilTerent from Dave, who has long sought to marry her? To Dave, Eric presents a real threat. And he is bedevilled by the feeling that, someplace long before, he has met Eric under most peculiar circvmistances. . . . But, on this most wonderful day of the year, the Youngs are united in love and faith. To each other — and to all their friends across the country — they say: "God bless you. Merry Christmas!"
