In this book, Patricia Grace wrote a short story called “Eben” about a developmentally disabled man growing up in an orphanage and this woman comes to visit him but they won’t let her adopt him because she’s not married. But she can take him out for the weekend. So one weekend, after she gave notice at her job and her house, she picks him up and they move to a new city. They live together many years until she dies. For a while, he lives in an institution, and then is moved into a group. The whole story is a tribute to those 2 people.
