Lila Jenkins is a single career minded woman when she suddenly finds herself in charge of Betsy, her sick niece. Betsy and her younger sister have been in the care of their exhausted grandmother as their own mother, Lucy, is in a mental hospital. Life's events and obstacles have sent Lucy into a breakdown and she is unable to provide private health care for her family. Suffering from awful headaches, Betsy's doctor has diagnosed her with TMJ. Lila researches and discovers that the symptoms for TMJ do not fit with Betsy's symptoms. She hits a roadblock when the pompous doctor will not change his diagnosis and the rude, condescending social worker refuses to help. Lila quickly realizes that the doctor and the social worker are not going to help Betsy, so she enlists the help of the local television station.
Alto Martine is an investigative reporter and he is always looking for a story on the edge. He is intrigued with the story and soon finds himself intrigued with Lila as well. An interview is set up to profile Betsy and her story when Lucy shows up demanding to be in the spotlight. She is recently released from the mental hospital and displays bizarre behavior with a fake southern accent. After the interview airs, the social worker mysteriously disappears and Betsy is assigned a new social worker and doctor, along with a terrifying new diagnosis.
Alto digs deep to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the social worker. During his investigation, he discovers corruption far deeper in the government than just the social workers. While Alto continues his investigation, Lila is in a race to save the life of a child, in spite of her sister's crazy and unpredictable behavior. With lots of down time spent at the hospital with Betsy, Lila gets to know the funny little girl that is intrigued with clouds and their silver linings. This story begins as a mission to help a sick child but quickly becomes a love story of many dimensions. Family dynamics are intertwined with government corruption, mental illness and long ago buried feelings as well as a bit of romance. Lila Jenkins' journey will intrigue, entertain and possibly enrage you.
