There is a LOT packed into this small book. Val is a young college student, just hanging out for a bit at the Cup of Joe coffee shop, when a would-be robber comes in. Before she has time to really adjust to what is happening, her hand is stilled by Henry Stanfield (Bud), 73 years old. An unlikely friendship develops between the two, who each have their own powers, and there are some adventures as they go off to change the course of fate, and an unexpected occurrence that might throw you off, but keep reading .. and the power to change the course of the world ends up in their hands.
That's all I'm going to say about the plot. This is a decidedly clever and absorbing read. It could stand a bit of polishing here and there, but this novella-sized book packs a wonderfully satisfying punch .. and a totally unexpected ending. Well worth the read.
QUOTES
"Watching other people's children is one thing; they go home at the end of the day. But when they're your own and you're up all night when they have a fever and are sick as a dog and you're worrying your head off if they're going to be all right and you hold and pamper them all night with no regard for your sleep and the next day when they feel better and want to go outside to play and you tell them no and they say 'I hate you' that's when you know what it's like to have kids."
OK ... so that is the longest run-on sentence ever, and is not illustrative of how the book is written, but I had to use it because as a parent, I can definitely relate!
