Jack Boussereau was a typical teen, until God intervened and imbued Jack with an elevated Spirit of Service. His self-directed life was violently interrupted by an event totally incompatible with Jack's mental capacity to assimilate it. Consequently he fled life as he knew it, and entered a lifetime of escapism. Once old age finally caught up with him and he began to relax somewhat, God visited him once again with a new, vibrant vision of service. Thus, the building of Daddy Jack's Place in the nondescript settlement of Nestuke, Louisiana. Here, Jack's healing takes place, and he finds his niche in life... only to be given the greatest, most unexpected gift of all.
