The story of Skip Cuddy, the caretaker, who finds a baby asleep in a box in front of the house, and decides he wants to keep her. The matriarch homeowner who wants to help him, for her own reasons. The book explores how the secrets of the past affect decisions and lives in the present; what makes a person, a life, legitimate or illegitimate and who decides; the unique resources people find in themselves and in a community.

Beautifully written.
