OzHouse is threatened when foster children start to disappear-again. Years ago it was Suzy Bishop. Now it's little Buddy Samson and Jessica Holton. In the desperate search to find the children, no one could guess that Buddy is wandering the streets of Mother Goose Land in search of his family, who have perished in a fire, or that Jessica, to find him, is opening dangerous doors in one magical world after another until all of fairyland is threatened, from the Forest of Grimm to the Emerald City of Oz. No one, but Charles Emerson. And he can't tell.
Ten years have passed. Charlie returns to OzHouse determined to find artistic renewal and a route out of the dead end of fairy tales. Jessica is drawn back hoping to find a home for her troubled sister and her two children. But OzHouse house has changed. The state rarely sends children there. Doug and Beth Robbins' marriage has grown shaky. And one new child who is there, Deborah Hannah Thomas, does not think OzHouse can ever meet the high standards of her deceased mother. Are the solutions to everyone's problems through the door? If they can only find Budistiltskin, perhaps he will know
Ten years have passed. Charlie fears his love of fairylands has ruined him. Jessica needs to save her sister from following the path of her lost and alcoholic mother. Doug Robbins' marriage is coming unraveled, and the state almost never sends children to OzHouse anymore. Should they look to fairylands for help? Or do fantasies just make things worse? No one has dared the magic doorway in years, but maybe there are answers there. Can Charlie renew his art? Can Doug renew himself? Can Jessica find a better place for her sister and her sister's doomed children? Perhaps the answers are tied to the fate of the one they left behind, poor, little Buddy Samson. Perhaps they need to find him. But first, they'll have to face the devil.
