I've always thought everyone has their afflictions, and some wear them on the surface for all to see, like cancer patients who have lost all their hair or parkinson's sufferers, with their tremors, while other people appear perfectly normal.  This is the story of Dwayne, a man whose afflictions are visible for all to see, and Dee-Dee, in whom other less obvious things might lurk under the surface.What a pleasure to read a book about real people, the sort you might meet on a trip to the grocery store or while riding a bus, which is where Dwayne and Dee-Dee first speak to each other.  The author throws them together and lets things happen, and the raw, ugly reality doesn't take long taking over.  This is a fine, gripping story, and this is good writing.I didn't know what to expect when the problems started multiplying between Dwayne and Dee-Dee.  I knew it wouldn't be easy, just like life.  The ending completely surprised me, and I ended up loving this book.
