Differences can bring people together which this book demonstrates through a variety of emotions, happenings, and unusual, yet everyday circumstances. It shows that no matter what path our life takes and no matter how alone we may feel, we can still experience the world around and have a desire to reach for understanding, passion, and love. Jordan (the main character in this story), whom author Marc McVey describes as someone who "wakes up and goes to sleep with the smell of wet or dry asphalt" demonstrates that there is so much more to this man's life experience than what may appear on the surface.Above all else, Jordan's longings, memories, and dreams are not connected to the things he had and lost in his life, instead they are preoccupied with a love of opera. All of his struggles and trials are illustrated through his own personal opera; which demonstrates that he is still a happy and wondrous man. His new friend Hannah understands this better than anyone else.This is surely a book that will haunt the reader days after reading it. Highly recommended reading!
