Product of the foster care system, young Kerry Gray is found asleep on the beach during a rising tide by two men who had themselves been foster kids in their past.  Lovers Charlie and Malcolm had been together for ten years and although they loved each other there were some holes in their relationship which had the potential to tear them apart.  As all three characters struggle to find happiness we never know for sure how it will work out in the end.  The background of the story as we hear about their jobs and their personalities was riveting, and the story unfolds in unexpected ways.  I particularly enjoyed the gardening. Oh, and I also learned from this book that you should hang up and put away your clothes instantly as the dryer stops and they won't wrinkle.  ;)I thought it was interesting how the lessons Kerry had learned from his foster father about dealing with people helped him help Charlie and Malcolm, and some other characters out of Charlie and Malcolm's past had indirectly helped Kerry.  It was a circle of influence which shows how much our daily actions can affect the lives of our future self and of others around us.  That was neat.  The more I think back about this book the more brilliant I think it is.Wait! *shocked*  This author also wrote Better.BetterWhat a deep person. :)
