About This Book

A weary, gentle stranger arrives at a modest boarding house and, through unobtrusive kindness and calm insight, gradually exposes and softens the selfishness, resentments and secret longings of the lodgers. He ministers to physical needs, listens attentively, and challenges pretensions without accusation, prompting reconciliations, personal confessions and renewed compassion among the residents. The book follows how ordinary lives are changed by small moral acts, moving toward a quietly spiritual resolution that emphasizes humility, forgiveness and the transformative effects of consistent, selfless behavior.
