As Charles Marlow weathers the struggle of supporting his severely autistic son, he reflects on a formative year of elementary school when he became both a standout pupil and a friend to a special needs kid in his class. Add a pair of crumbling marriages, a student‘s perceptive senior project, a nun with dementia, an unexpected twist, and a serendipitous reunion - you get this strange and wonderful book. I LOVED how Kallos brought it all together.
