Supplee is kind but unflinching, honest but empathetic in this beautifully told story of two damaged souls surrounded by well-meaning family members who just want them to regain normal. For this unlikely pair, a man and a child, normal is personal and requires a detour to a place that exists only in their imaginations. Supplee’s voice is original, unmistakable, and deeply human.—Adrian Fogelin, author of nine titles for middle grade readers including, Crossing Jordan.

A well-crafted, wonderfully written tale of mismatched misfits finding an oasis of friendship in a world of suspicion. It depicts an enviable innocence that is regrettably unlikely apart from fiction. Yet it also carries overtones of God’s care of the outcast now and the hope of unseen realities.—Stanley D. Gale, author of A Vine-Ripened Life
