I initially borrowed this book from the Amazon Prime library - and was completely blown away. After two weeks of multiple re-reads, and many bouts of tears, I realized I had to have my own copy of this book that touched me so profoundly.I wish there was a way for me to explain how and why a short story could have this dramatic effect on me. It was simply told, and all the more powerful for it. Mr. Webb let me sit in that room with Paul and listen to the tale of love, loss and the resilience of a man who lost his heart.I wanted to fix it all, and make everything magically better for Matthew and Patrick, make all the bad go away. Life seldom works out that way, and Mr. Web didn't let us hit the easy button. Thank God. I highly recommend this book. It may be little, but it packs a punch.Reading this story... it made me remember another boy - and that's a damn good thing, wonderful in fact. A gift I cherish.
