“You should treat yourself to a safari. Find the Big Five; five animals considered the hardest and most dangerous to hunt, back in the day — the buffalo, the leopard, the elephant, the rhinoceros. And, of course, the lion.”

The Buffalo
Lloyd arrives from ‘across the pond’, ready to steer St Saviours through the Christmas season while Reverend Richard finally takes his sabbatical — in South Africa. But will this American bison stampede like its African cousin through all Richard’s precious traditions?

The Leopard
Tamara steels herself for another Christmas — alone. When emergency surgery leaves her weak and vulnerable, will she admit her hidden truth to friend Carol? Is she the leopard whose spots never change, or will she discover the transforming power of love in action?

The Elephant
Lula wants only to mind her own business as a top surgeon in a busy London hospital. But when a patient arrives with a ruptured appendix, the doctor finds her world colliding with one she’d rather ignore. Is there healing in uncovering the past? Or can she, like the elephant, never forget?

The Rhinoceros
Marj has reached the end of her tether. One more disappointed hope, one more emergency, and she’s certain she risks near extinction — like the African rhino she can’t wait to see. Is a simple pottery class the rescue she needs?

The Lion
Ellen is keeping a secret. One she daren’t tell her parents — but knows she’ll have to, before their visit to South Africa at Christmas. Is she brave enough to risk their disapproval?
Will the Lion of Judah roar over this — and every other challenge faced by the St Saviours faithful?
