James Leeds, a teacher in a deaf school, doesn't like to play cards by convention. He has a set of effective teaching methods that he has summed up. He applied to teach at Governor's School in Kitridge, Maine, and fell in love with the place, intending to settle there. Guided by Leeds' new approach to education, the school's unresponsive, deaf pupil in his teens has made great strides in learning and has developed a sense of trust in him. Sarah Norman, a former graduate who worked as a school cleaner after graduation, is withdrawn and refuses Leeds' demands to study, which puts her at odds with Leeds. Leeds is determined to restore Sarah to her former warm and lovable personality, because he thinks everyone is eager to talk. Leeds' efforts paid off, and both of them gradually developed a favorable impression of each other. But Sara felt conflicted and depressed at the same time: in their interactions, Liz always showed an arbitrary state of being a benefactor, which made Sara very disgusted. Liz finally realizes her own flaws and Sara's goodness, they are all "Children of a Lesser God", their status is equal
