The Ornament: A tale of heritage for the Holidays

By Kathryn Gerwig

Christmas is coming, as is the year 2000. Charlene and Steve Stillini are struggling to form a plan to improve the prospects for their speakeasy-themed cafe, located in a small Midwestern city.

The middle-aged couple, and Charlene's mother, look forward to the arrival of their daughter/granddaughter, Stephanie, home from culinary school in Boston. But how will their lives progress as the New Millennium dawns?

Will the family be able to save the restaurant and keep the cherished Queen Anne Victorian home that's been handed down through Charlene's family for generations?

Christmas, cats, family history, serendipity, and the challenge of sustainably revitalizing small town America, dominate this tale leading up to the reveal of an unexpected and fascinating holiday surprise.
