About this listen
A Richard and Judy Book Club Selection.
"So much of how it was started when that cop got out....But I didn't know all this when it first happened. I didn't know there would ever be a Leonard, or that this man would be his father, or that anyone would have to die."
Leonard is an eerily wise five-year-old boy with asthma, terrible eyesight, and the ability to captivate everyone he meets.
Pearl is Leonard's devoted teenage mother, desperately trying to hide a violent secret from her past.
Mitch is Leonard's 25-year-old next-door neighbour, busy running his own company and entertaining the Mayor's wife.
Then one day Pearl drops Leonard off with Mitch, and never returns.
How do you go on loving someone who isn't there? As truth and fiction, memory and dreams collide, Mitch finds himself learning from a surprising source the true, magical definition of love.
