Julie Lindsey-Thomas and her husband Greg Thomas are making the biggest move of their lives-- into the twenty-eight-room mansion, that Julie has inherited from her eccentric great-aunt Elizabeth Samuels. They can't wait to turn it into a beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Unbeknownst to Julie, she wasn't the only potential heir: Great-Aunt Elizabeth had an illegitimate son, Jake, who was born mentally handicapped, and his true identity as Elizabeth's son was kept a secret. After Elizabeth's death Jake found refuge at the Keeler Institute, where those with marginal abilities were able to thrive...until now. The organization has no more resources for people like Jake, and Jake has no resources at all. Julie's and Jake's lives are about to intersect- an intersection made more interesting because Julie and Jake are protected by the same guardian angel. The troubles that finally bring these two together, and the resolution of those troubles, make a fascinating tale.
