Only Ruthie Knox could pull off a story like this.  One of the fabulous things about Ms. Knox is that you NEVER know what to expect when you start one of her books.  While other authors create two dimensional characters or rely on the same hackneyed plot formula over ande over, Ruthie Knox takes readers in a new direction with every story.Big Boy is about a one night a month escape for Amanda and Tyler.  While it is obvious why Amanda needs this monthly fantasy, Tyler`s motives are more suspect.  Amanda adopted her nephew Josh as an infant after the rest of his family was killed in a car cash.  Knox creates great interaction between Amanda and Josh.Amanda:  "Josh will kiss me one minte and smack me in the face with a sharp-edged block the next.  If he could talk, he`d say, I need you, Mama.  I need you so bad."Tyler: "I did an internship at Heritage Hill in college and couldn`t resist the allure of the low pay and complete lack of respect that comes with museum work."I love Amanda Knox!
