How can a short story make me painfully ache for a character yet offer a glimmer of hope that he will be okay?  With beautifully crafted words...words that awaken all your senses, words that affect your mind, heart, and spirit.This is not a romance, but is a beautiful coming of age tale about a boy (Zac) seemingly trapped in a rural farming town, so lonely, he hides behind his hair and pretends to be insignificant.  His object of affection is none other an older boy, who goes through one girl after another.  Zac has a gift, and through his art, he creates a fantasy world in which to survive his loneliness.  The final moments of the book will tear you apart.  I cried for Zac, but I was left with hope because Zac felt hope, that he will be able to step out into the world and finally live.I cannot recommend this book enough.  Just wow!
