Explanation:

Elizabeth McCracken's "A Giant's House" tells the story of how a librarian and a 'gigantic' boy fell in love despite all odds and societal issues.

The protagonist of the story Peggy Cort works in a library in a small town on Cape Cod. A young tall by James Carlson Sweatt came into the library one day and thus starts their story. At first, Peggy was just happy to have a good patron like James who's suffering from a physical abnormality "gigantism". James, due to his abnormal, freaky appearance is somehow prejudiced by the society. Likewise, Peggy is also estranged from her family and society, feeling that love and life had abandoned her.

But with James, she began to have sympathy for the young man and started caring for him, even taking care of him whenever he needs help. After James died, Peggy got pregnant and gave birth. Thereon, she lived her life perpetuating the life of James and his condition, educating people about it. This story is a compelling way of showing the power of love to overcome everything.
