Review Quotes: ***STARRED REVIEW***
"Stein's text captures the experience of loneliness with uncomplicated empathy, and the dynamic he establishes between the single father and son is simply lovely. The narrative's climax delivers affirmation with a just-right sweetness; this portrait of vulnerability offers both guidance to adults seeking to support the youngsters in their lives and reassurance for children... A tender, unexpected portrait of familial acceptance."
