Synopsis

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.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Megastar of stage, screen, and television, Geneva Jordan now has a command performance in Minnesota, where she agrees to look after her thirteen-year-old nephew, a boy with Down's syndrome, while his parents take a long-overdue vacation. Though Geneva and her sister, 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. Then the discovery of an old scrapbook that she and her sister created long ago starts her thinking of things beyond fame. For "The Great Mysterious is a collection of thoughts and feelings dedicated to answering life's "big questions--far outside the spotlight's glow. . . .

From the Back Cover:

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