Two Irish families, with very different belief systems in the areas of religion and politics, both immigrate to Utah and meet there in the mid-1900s. They find themselves wanting to intermarry. But their diversity of thought poses problems. They develop a method to overcome conflict and build harmony in their relationships, and learn to eat peacefully around the table. At that table is Teague Gwynn, a thirteen year old boy, who intuitively knows that diversity and harmony can exist together in the same house!
