A senior man, a retired, single, home construction business owner, has bought a large house and renovated it entirely and put in four apartments. It is his retirement home. He occupies one ground floor apartment and rents the others to various people who become important in his life, becoming his family, especially a little girl left at his door by a single mother who rented an up- stairs apartment. Whatever the mother said to the little girl, it is apparent that she expects to stay with him. He has kept her a few times while the mother ran errands, so he expects her to return for the child. When she does not he feels he must care for the little girl until she does. Slowly a warm, loving relationship develops and the man, Bill, really becomes her Poppy, as she calls him, and they set about her education, and the other people in the house slowly become his family as well. This is wonderful. warm tale of trust and love that is woven in that house.
