Lake Forest High School

When Ethel Savage inherits a fortune from her late husband, she uses it to support dreamers and their unconventional ambitions. But her greedy stepchildren, a socialite, a senator, and a judge, commit her to a mental institution in hopes of gaining control of the money. At The Cloisters, Ethel finds friendship and acceptance among its eccentric residents, while her stepchildren relentlessly try to uncover where she has hidden the family fortune.&nbsp; Filled with warmth, humor and heart, The Curious Savage celebrates kindness, compassion, and the value of those often overlooked in the world driven by greed and ambition.
