The boys develop their innate gifts as they search for meaning to opportunitiesin the unstructured life in a fatherless family. Elle and her sons learn to depend on the well intended involvement of good people who extend the Joyce family beyond the nucleus of Elle and her two sons. Elle comes to trust the Good Guys who bless her vibrant family.
