Spencer is a gentle church mouse who is used to a quiet life in the country. No one had been in the church for a long time and Spencer was content. But suddenly a loud thuds broke the silence and the building lurched from under him. A big machine was lifting his church house up, up, up, and away. Spencer had seconds to decide whether to stay safely behind or embrace the adventure of a lifetime. He hoped for the best as he leapt into the air and scrambled back into the only home he has ever known. What adventures await him? How will this well-mannered country mouse fare when he meets his field mouse cousins? Tracy Barron moved the former Rawdon Gold Mines Union Church in Hants County, Nova Scotia, to a new location and repurposed it into her home. It sits on the site where her great-great grandparents' farmhouse once stood and where four generations of her family were raised.

One of the church's gothic-style stained-glass windows was placed in memory of her great-grandparents who attended services at the church when it opened in 1908--and her grandmother taught Sunday school there. Here is where her father also attended Sunday school, and Tracy and her siblings were baptized in the church. It wasn't long after the church building arrived at its new home that a family of mice came along to live within the walls. This is the story of one of these mice.
