Description
Lester hasn't really belonged to anyone or anyplace for a long time. So when Daddy Albert and Daddy Rich adopt him, he is excited about his new life. There are a lot of things to like about his new house and his family: He has a brand-new room. And a brand-new bed. And a new bike. And new toys. And hot cocoa. And new cousins, too. And then there is Wincka, his new daddies' big, furry dog. She's the best. But even with all these good things, Lester gets lonely and scared in the middle of the night. What will it take to make Lester feel home at last?
