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
