Ruby Holler is the beautiful, mysterious place that changes all their lives forever. When Tiller and Sairy invite the twins to stay with them and accompany them on their adventures, the magic of the Holler takes over, and the two kids begin to think that maybe, just maybe the old folks arent so bad. . . .
