This is a revised edition of The Atonement which is already posted here. I am the original author of "The Atonement" under the pen name "Racecar." There are two additional chapters added by other authors that are not edited, in addition to another new chapter written in the 1990s that I never posted.
After losing his job, a widower moves in with his stepson and offers to keep house for him until he can get back on his feet. But he finds that his new role, making a home warm and welcoming, is not only rewarding but also transformative.
