Publisher's summary

"What do I have to do to make you wash your hands of me? There's nothing you could do. I will never wash my hands of you."

Nathan McCann thought he didn't want a family. But when he finds an abandoned newborn in the woods, he feels an inexplicable bond with the boy and starts to make plans to raise the child as his own - until the baby's grandmother steps forward to claim him. Nathan makes a request of her, though: to one day bring the boy to meet his rescuer.

Fifteen years later, Nathan gets his wish when the boy and his grandmother show up on his doorstep. Named Nat and now an angry teenager with a criminal record, the boy is once again in need of rescuing. Nathan takes Nat in, swearing to never abandon him. Nathan believes that with love and patience anyone can change. And he just might be right.

From the author of Pay It Forward comes a poignant tale of love, pain, and trusting people to stay by your side in a world where leaving is easy.

You get what you give

What better thing could I do with my life after fifty then pour it into the person I found in the woods as a baby? That was the answer given by Nathan in the book as to why he gave so much to someone who was so disappointing. This book, though full of the realities of life, is in the end overwhelming with wonderful hope, joy, and love. The characters are well developed and I had to put the book down at one point because I had so much empathy for the main character I was afraid to go on.

Outstanding narration!!

This narrator is amazing! He made each character stand out with his different “voices”. From speech problems to accents, he was very accurate. Story was very good and enjoyable.

A nice story.

Not very realistic as far as character development. There aren't any real people like this.

Not my favorite Hyde book. There are others that are way better. Not the best reader either.
