The One-in-a-Million Boy

Description

After the sudden death of his young son, itinerant guitarist Quinn Porter returns to the family he has long kept at a distance, searching for a way to make amends. He begins completing his son’s unfinished Boy Scout service project for Ona Vitkus, a sharp-minded 104-year-old Lithuanian immigrant whose weekly visits with the boy reveal an unexpected path toward connection. As Quinn and Ona form an unlikely friendship, he discovers new truths about his son—and confronts the complicated bonds of family, grief, forgiveness, and redemption. Monica Wood’s tender, perceptive novel balances wry humor with emotional depth in its exploration of the ways love can survive absence and loss.
