Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 22, 2012
Lovely Whitmore comes along with a thought-provoking look at the intersection of abandonment, forgiveness and love in a heartbreaking letter from a gifted son to his aloof father. Whitmore's breezy writing conveys both pain and hope, and the son seems very patient with a father who doesn't deserve his affection.  Whitmore is a great writer whose sensibilities will appeal to anybody with a family.  This book shows the way imagination and youth are affected by personal history, with its wise, wonderful, and innocent writing.
