With the continuing controversy over the placement of religious, mostly Christian, symbols on Government property this book deals with a small town, Newton’s Mill, and it’s attempts to deal with that situation. Mayor G.D. Steward is caught between both sides of the issue when the City Council results in a tie vote regarding the placement of a traditional Nativity Set on the courthouse lawn. The book covers the week between the Tuesday night tie vote in the council and the next Tuesday when the Mayor must render his decision. During that week the Mayor is subjected to pressures from both sides of the issue. But it is the impact of a new arrival in town, a man named Gabriel, that forces him to face his concerns and reservations about the whole Nativity. During the week the newcomer also has a profound effect on many of the townspeople. It is not until the night before the meeting, after a long week of soul searching, that the Mayor finally solidifies his feelings as to whether Newton’s Mill will be the town that forgot Christmas.
