"He'll eat more than his share and leave a mess wherever he goes!"

LaDelle Harris, a fiery fifty-one-year-old widow and the head librarian at the Tuskegee Institute, likes things her way-orderly and trouble-free. So, the last thing she wants is to take care of her twelve-year-old nephew for the summer-or maybe forever. Can a menopausal widow with a need for control and a troubled boy make peace with God and each other as they struggle with their fears and challenges? Professor George Washington Carver may be able to help.
