This book was so amazing on so many levels. A heartwarming story about an autistic child ( although it never quite states that) and his friendship with a 104 year old woman with a lifetime of stories to tell. He finds her the perfect subject for his research paper, and during his weekly visits with her, he brings her out of her loneliness, and she brings so much to his life. There are all kinds of sub- plots involving his dysfunctional family, and her past. I should have known I'd be bawling my eyes out at the end!
