Wow. This book made me cry. Jimmy was a drifter that had been abused as a child and was running ever since. He never stayed long in any place long. He would get itchy and have to move on. He picked up a dying man who died in his car and had the feeling he needed to give the letter to the letter to the dead man's son. The son had many problems of his own he was disabled and he didn't really want anything to do with his dead father. He had a new father he loved. Shane was strong in his weakness. He pulled Jimmy into life. He made Jimmy grow up. It was not an easy transformation but it was a beautiful one. I love when they went to Tom's grave. He had a simple grave stone but he was back home. He had gave his son a love. The ending when they were dancing in the only place Tom had been happy. Shane and Jimmy were holding each other crying on each other. It was a life full circle. The book started with a death and ended with a love that was strong.
