This novel is told mostly through a collection of short stories that feature the interactions of Eliot Rosewater, the primary trustee of the philanthropic Rosewater Foundation, and the people of Rosewater County, Indiana. Eliot, a drunk and a volunteer firefighter, has decided to actually give money to the needy, an action which calls into question his sanity by his family and their legal counsel.
