The Christmas Ore begins with Bill Brooks moving to a small farm in Clearwater, Vermont. He needs to start a new life, and leaving Boston seems to be the right choice. The farmhouse is large and brings with it the feeling of warmth and happiness. He meets many of the locals at Maggy’s diner in Clearwater, where the town loves to gather. At the antique shop, Bill picks up several items for his mantle at the farmhouse. The shop owner is the beautiful and single Roselyn. One of the pieces is covered with many layers of paint. Bill stripes the paint off and uncovers a beautifully made box. One side overlayed with the words, The Christmas Ore. The mystery of the box and Bill’s encounter with an older lady by the name of Vivian, who keeps popping up at his house uninvited, unnerve him. But Vivian will start Bill on a mission that no one could ever expect. The stripped box and Bill’s farmhouse may hold a secret that will help set the town free. The mayor of Clearwater will be the biggest obstacle to the mission. His order that refuses the town to decorate their businesses and streets for Christmas comes with authority. What power does Jasper Wilson, the mayor, hold over the town that he grips with an iron fist? Will magic come to New England? What is the miracle that few in town talk about? No one but Aunt Mary, the oldest resident of Clearwater, knows anything about it? Bill must reach back two generations to find the answers, to find the light.
