Lester hasn't really belonged to anyone or anyplace for a long time. So when Daddy Albert and Daddy Rich adopt him, he is excited about his new life. There are a lot of things to like about his new house and his family: He has a brand-new room. And a brand-new bed. And a new bike. And new toys. And hot cocoa. And new cousins, too.

What will it take to make Lester feel home at last?
