When a night-shift janitor discovers a newborn in a bathroom, one selfless act sets in motion a lifelong bond. As the years unfold, loyalty, sacrifice, and the true meaning of family are put to the test, and love finds its voice in the most unexpected way.Most people don’t notice janitors.Not the men in pressed suits, and not the women with click-clack heels and earbuds in. And certainly not the teenagers who throw paper towels on the floor like it’s someone else’s job to clean up after them.But I don’t mind.
My name is Martha, and I’m 63 years old. For the past four decades, I’ve worked the night shift, mostly cleaning office buildings and rest stops where the lights buzz and the mirrors are always streaked.People think it’s sad.The hours, the silence, and the loneliness. But I don’t. Because it’s honest work, and it’s clean in its own way.
