The story: Jean Hansen goes to the Crawthorne State Training Institute in need of a job. A friend of hers works there and told Jean they could use help.
The Institute is a boarding school for mentally challenged children where things are run by psychologist Dr. Clark.
Jean has no teaching training nor has she ever worked with children. She actually went to school for music shortly before dropping out and looking for her place in the world.
At first, Jean isn't sure she has much to offer the children at the Institute but then she takes a liking to quiet, withdraw, lonely Reuben.
It isn't until Jean realizes that she cannot just concentrate on Reuben that she believes she has no place at the Institute.
