I won't sum up the story, because it appears as though it has already been over-explained on this page. The book is very well written. This is the second book that I have read from the Hub City group and will look for more. It reminds me of watching "American Idol" and realizing that there is great talent all around us, often better than those which the media forces on us. From what I can tell from just two books (I will need to read more authors to prove this theory) these are the authors which haven't been found yet, but they should be.
