Tthe first day of October brings an unheralded and violent
storm, which whips through Fairacre, blowing down trees and
telephone poles -- and, worst of all, damaging the roof of St.
Patrick's Church. The inhabitants of tiny Fairacre can't imagine
how they will be able to afford the repairs, until Mr. Willett
suggests a fundraising festival. Preparations for a food sale, a
concert, a school play, and a gigantic Christmas bazaar are soon
made -- but will they be enough? With her customary humor and
grace, Miss Read recounts a story of catastrophe and courage.
