A heart-warming story about people on the fringe of society; those that don't fit into society's ever-changing definition of "normal". Outsiders who just want someone to care about them and to find someone that they can care for. A reminder for us not to judge someone by the clothes they wear, the tics they may have, or their circumstances. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and with a little understanding.
From the book jacket: Meet Tom. Or Dr. O'Grady, as he used to be called. When you pass him on the street, most people don't even give him a second glance. You see, Tom isn't living his best life. Burdened by grief, he's only got his loyal dog, Bette Davis, for company and a rucksack containing his whole world.
Then there's Ruth and her son, DJ, who no longer have a place to call home. But Ruth believes that you can change the world by helping one person at a time - and Tom needs her help...
Quotes: "'Laws and rules should be recognized as only an approximate guide to actions by the people. They are never meant to enslave us. Just a guide.'"
"'I really wanted her to give herself a different ending.'"
"'...And if you are lucky, when you fall in love that person loves you back in the exact same way. That's the best kind of love, one that is received and reciprocated.'"
