The Caretaker

Jacob and Naomi fell in love with each other at once, no matter that he is the heir of the wealthy Hampton family, and she is a semi-literate maid. Defying their families, Jacob marries Naomi, but society, led by their... parents, turns against the young couple. Only Blackburn Gantt, the polio-deformed cemetery caretaker, remains loyal to his friend and his young wife. But then life takes a sharp turn: Jacob is called to war in Korea, and no one knows if he will return home... A poignant story set in the mid-20th century in the Southern United States tells of a love triangle, of an outcast with a tender soul, and of the power of love that can overcome any obstacles.
