But in a strange twist of fate, their towns matriarch, an eccentric, wealthy old woman whose family once owned the county coal mines, hears the boys story. Candace Jack doesnt have an ounce of maternal instinct, yet for reasons she does not even understand herself, she is compelled to offer them a home.
