Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a
towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they
shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at
a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of
problems. But people love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But
babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a
messed up teenager.
And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also
strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I
could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have
listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.
And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of
life and death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and
never-endings. But most of all...a love story.
„You are afraid of the truth, Georgia.
And people who are afraid of the truth never find it.“
Od tejto
autorky som čítala zatiaľ len jednu knihu, ale totálna ma odrovnala. Bola
úžasná rovnako ako bola smutná. Prvých pár slov ma úplne dostalo a nepustilo
až do konca. Takže keď som sa dozvedela o jej novej knihe, nemohla som
odolať. Nakoniec sa mi ju podarilo zohnať aj v papierovej podobe a veľmi
rýchlo som sa do nej pustila. A často som rozmýšľala, či to bolo dobré
alebo zlé rozhodnutie...
