Wow what a book.  I was a bit hesitant to read due to the abuse content I am so glad I read it.  What an amazing book.  We meet the two main characters Owen washed to shore on a cold stormy night on a beach of a light house.  Nick is standing on the edge of the cliff contemplating ending it all not for the first time.  Owen is dealing with great loss and Nick was horrifically abused as a child.  This story is so tragic and both men save each other.  The comic relief comes in the form of a Cappuchin monkey Spot who carries around a pen knife.  Nick is so damaged and Owen is at a loss as  to how to save him.  With the help of Nick's adoptive father DonThey surround Nick with love and understanding it is a beautiful story.  I cried and I laughed. Suspenseful too as an abusive boyfriend from Nicks past reenters his life  in a horrible way.  usan Mac Nichol has written a gem, truly a gem.
