Esther Lundy is standing in her garden, surveying her tomato plants, when a moving truck pulls up in her neighborhood. Someone's moving into the preacher's house, she thinks. But who?

They looked like typical preacher family types...at least three of them. But the boy looked an awful lot like her son Monroe did at that age. Does this boy know how unusual he looks in this family? And does this family know what happened in this house before they arrived? Neither were any of her business, but Esther couldn't help herself. A welcome visit was in order...
