A story about 3 foster kids in a not so wonderful foster home - - a well-meaning Episcopal priest and his self-centered wife, who doesn't really want foster kids. The priest's sister has suffered a brain injury and his wife doesn't want the responsibility of caring for her either. This is a great story about how a family can form despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
