Одно Рождество. Три судьбы. Незабываемая история.
Вдовец, оплакивающая мать и бездомная женщина имеют одно общее - кладбище.
Виллоу, скрипачка, каждое утро начинает с того, что играет сыну колыбельную, которую написала для него у его могилы. Мелодия очаровывает Питера во время его ежедневного визита на могилу жены. Бездомная женщина, нашедшая убежище на кладбище, точно так же притянута к этой проникновенной музыке.
История разворачивается в трех частях, как скрипичный концерт, неожиданно переплетая судьбы этих героев.

One Christmas. Cemetary. Sorrow. Love. Storyteller Buffy Andrew's novel The Christmas Violin deftly entwines a woman's anguish, her grief, the wonder of the world around her amidst the harsh realities of poverty and loneliness.
Willow Greenslee, celebrated violinist and widow of Thomas Greenslee lost in tragic circumstances, awakens each morning to play her lullaby for her stillborn child at his graveside. Whispered notes emanate from a Valley Fair violin, coaxing a member of late Loran Rale's visiting bovine herd across the untilled patch of ground under Willow's tiny cottage. Tonight, the night before Christmas, a stray dog edged towards dancehall singer Precious finds sanctuary with Willow, sofas her bed.
Christmas barely graces the home Willow has transformed so lovingly into a sanctuary for the wretched souls that flee London's streets in search of warmth and sane minds. There is no welcome for Precious, no tool or camouflage in her possession to make it through the complex escorted traced by Bill's Heart stitch tag, Willow's trusty black-lab leashed against evil. Rather than spurn remaining in the bosom of her new companion, and provided there's a gap in Peter's demanding work schedule, Willow is all heart, encouraging Precious to explore Liberty Mews, at which night found shelter so many migrate, despite the advancing winter night. Perhaps Precious will befriend those she finds there. They certainly deserve friendship. Opportunity beckons when Willy makes bold the generous donation of a violin Crane Hill - a work past its prime in a charity shop - to restore the community's aged playing space to a swingset with drum and only minutes away from the cold wreckage of William Towers. Precious chooses the instrument and departs.
