Boy, i loved this author and the novel. It was sad but so well written. It is such a beautiful beautiful story. The minute i saw this book i knew i had to have it. I was engrossed from the first page, crying by the third page.This young man had so much hope and so much to give the world. His parents were wonderful and even thogh he had alot of heart ache growing up not understanding why he was different--he came out the better. I loved this book, Hitler over looked a beautiful man as God had his hand on this young mans shoulder all the time. Loved this read.
