A family that embraces him in their lives and eventually he becomes a part of. We see as he meets a little tornado named Joe Bennett, on his sixteenth birthday, a ten-year-old who he unknowingly heals (as much as one can be healed after what Joe has been through), and by doing so brings a form of peace to the entire family. We watch him grow from a twelve-year-old boy whose drunken, no-good father abandons him and his mom, into a man in his late 20s, who has grown into his own. It’s a story about how one human, Ox, is so much more than he understands, and there is a world out there far more beautiful and scary than he can fathom. It’s a story that is about family, connection and choices. Yes, at times I wanted to throw my kindle and curse TJ Klune for doing this to me again-but I didn’t, because I know I will be glad I didn’t destroy the item that allowed me to continue to ensconce myself in the beauty of the story I was reading. Review: There are so many feelings reading this book.
Except now he’s a man, and Ox can no longer ignore the song that howls between them. It’s been three years since that fateful day-and the boy is back. The boy chased after the monster with revenge in his bloodred eyes, leaving Ox behind to pick up the pieces.
Ox was twenty-three when murder came to town and tore a hole in his head and heart. Ox was seventeen when he found out the boy’s secret, and it painted the world around him in colors of red and orange and violet, of Alpha and Beta and Omega. Ox found out later the boy hadn’t spoken in almost two years before that day, and that the boy belonged to a family who had moved into the house at the end of the lane.
Ox was sixteen when he met the boy on the road, the boy who talked and talked and talked. He said that Ox wasn’t worth anything and people would never understand him. At a Glance: This book delivered all I could hope for and more.īlurb: Ox was twelve when his daddy taught him a very valuable lesson.
