It's 1987, and he has been assigned a ministerial post in a Unitarian Universalist parish in Assisi, Vermont, close to the Canadian border-a far cry from his hometown of New York City. So a \"sky clad\" wood sprite takes him very much by surprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat might have been a ho-hum posting in this remote northern location turns out to be anything but that. The good news: His progressive parish doesn't care that he's gay. The bad news? His attempts to make a goodwill connection with The Forest, a nearby Pagan community, are consistently rebuffed for reasons he doesn't understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Spencer makes friends and enters into a love affair, he begins to explore the fraught relationship he'd had with his late father.
