A young man’s life

This telling is magnificent. It is about life and love and losses. Humans can make a difference and the Power of One details how. An amazing read! I was transported every time I picked up the book. His world is so dichotomous on a continuum. There is always the detractor or hurdle and Peekay keeps plugging and chugging. The mental processes he he uses to guide himself are timeless and an inspiration. Barb

An unusual story and a beautiful one.

I enjoyed reading this. The story is different and interesting, the characters are well developed, with heart and soul.
