Welcome to the Great Mysterious - Softcover
Not renewing her contract in a Broadway show, Geneva can find no excuse when her twin sister Ann begs her to childsit 13-year-old Rich, who has Down's Syndrome. The beginning is a bit rocky, but she comes to love Rich, to weep silently for him and to rejoice in his friendship with another child.

From the Inside Flap:
ght, so I'm a diva. . . . For those of you who don't know me, I am Geneva Jordan, star of stage, screen, and television. (If you didn't see me accept my Tony, I'm sure you heard my voice singing the 'Sweetie Cat' litterbox and Chef Mustachio Frozen Pizza jingles.) . . ."
Now Geneva Jordan has a command performance in Minnesota, a challenging role set in reality. Making her entrance with her usual flair, she is coming to the rescue of her twin sister, Ann, and Ann's husband, Riley. They desperately need someone to care for their thirteen-year-old son, Rich, a boy with Down's syndrome, while the couple takes their first-ever vacation away from him. Though she and Ann are as different as night and day ("I being night, of course, dark and dramatic"), Geneva remembers she had a family before she had a star on her door. But so accustomed is she to playing the lead, finding herself a supporting actress in someone else's life is strange and unexplored territory.

"[A] sweet, funny story . . . as good as Patty Jane's House of Curl."
