Encouraged by his wife to consider an extraordinary offer from the Directors to return to the bank, Bob Garrett accepts. The increase in income almost offsets what they are spending on their showplace of a home, and the benefits he will receive make the arrangement even more desirable. When they become aware that a couple from the Center in Dwarf need to relocate for health purposes, Bob and Peggy open their home to their friends and end up receiving more in assistance and services from the couple than ever was expected. As time passes they are able to completely decorate the structure to the level they originally planned. The Garrets are so proud of their home that they begin inviting family and friends to visit so the others might also share in the pleasure of enjoying this special place. Despite several distractions of internal problems at the bank Bob still views the homestead as the center of his attention for the family until an unprecedented event occurs that will challenge the very marrow of Bob and Peggy’s relationship.
