Welcome to Litsy!

Jake Manning s smart mouth frequently gets him into trouble. Because of it, he can t hold a job. Combined with some bad luck, it's prevented him from keeping steady employment. A huge debt looms over him, and alone he shoulders the care of his alcoholic mother and three younger sisters. When a housekeeping position opens, Jake s so desperate he leaps at the opportunity. On landing, he finds his new boss, Patrick Stanford, a fussy, arrogant, rude and blind man. Born without sight, Patrick is used to being accommodated, but he s met his match with Jake, who doesn t take any of his crap and threatens to swap all the braille labels on his groceries and run off with his guide dog unless he behaves. Jake gets a kick out of Patrick. Things are looking up: the girls are starting their own lives and his mum s sobriety might stick this time. He s sacrificed everything for his family; maybe it s time for him to live his life and start a relationship with Patrick. When his mother needs him, guilt makes his choice between family and Patrick difficult, and Jake must realize he s not alone anymore.
