Publisher's Synopsis
Stuart Jenkins thought of himself as an average guy. He was a single, middle aged, high school Speech teacher whose attention was on building a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. He called it The Lodge. When a student from over a decade ago mysteriously appeared on his porch, things stopped being average.
In the following months, as construction continued, a few interesting relationships were also built. A girlfriend, maybe two, a soon-to-be Eagle Scout in need of a role model, and new friends and life discovered in a church coffee shop. But where there is construction, there is often chaos. A girlfriend's deception and a school bully who happens to be a teacher continue the trend of not so average events giving Stuart opportunities to make some extraordinary decisions.
