From the Bookshelf of Topeka & Shawnee Co. Public Library…

[close] This book was so unexpected for me. I was actually looking for the dvd and got the first chapter excerpt from the library's website. From the very beginning I was drawn in by Pat's voice. He is so honest and earnest. Pat is not perfect he has big issues and so does almost everyone he knows;but he is trying to become a better man. This story is better because of the flaws in the characters and their lives. The movie didn't do it justice.
