Lou Suffern is stretched impossibly thin—always rushing between two places, his mind never quite present even when his body is—until he meets Gabe, a mysterious homeless man he impulsively helps get a job at his office. As Gabe settles in, Lou begins to notice something uncanny about him, something that challenges everything Lou thought he understood about time and priorities. This is a magical, thought-provoking story about what we really value in life and the unexpected gifts that come from the most surprising people. Perfect for anyone who's ever felt like they're missing their own life while living it.
