Since he was abandoned by his mother during his seventh birthday, Jimmy Leveret has had to deal with Celeste’s ways of nurture. Sterile from a young age, Celeste Fox wants her newly adopted son to become the perfect man; she homeschools him until adolescence, teaches him what to wear, eat, say, and how to exercise to develop a manly figure. Like a Nazi dictator, she expects Jimmy to be her untainted legacy.
