Kallos, the bestselling author of “Broken for You,” spins the stories of a dedicated teacher, his enigmatic son, and a wartime survivor into a tale of love, loss and handwriting. -- High school English teacher Charles Marlow’s wife has left, his daughter is headed for college and he can't communicate with his autistic son. A series of unexpected events forces him to reflect on the lifetime of decisions and indecisions that have brought him to this point. With the help of an ambitious art student, an Italian-speaking nun and the memory of a boy in a white suit whose friendship both saved and condemned him, Charles may finally be able to rewrite the script of his life. -- Stephanie Kallos is the author of the national bestseller “Broken for You,” which was selected by Sue Monk Kidd for The Today Show book club and was adapted for the stage by Book-It Repertory Theatre. She also wrote “Sing Them Home,” one of Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Novels of the year.
