description: His "big" family is getting bigger
  
  Everyone in Hollandale, Tennessee, has heard of Dr. Pete Jacobi but they don't know much about the man.  Pete keeps to himself and his family -- the three full-grown elephants who roam the sanctuary he built for them.  Then one night Tala Newsome needs his help, and Pete finds himself falling for the courageous widow.
  
  But loving Tala means accepting a whole bunch of Newsomes -- Tala's two lively kids, her bossy mother-in-law and her eccentric grandmother-in-law.
  
  Suddenly Pete and his "girls" are learning the REAL meaning of family.
