About the Book

This is the story of Tommy, a young boy who lives alone with his mother while his father is in prison. Week after week; Tommy waits for his dad's call and month after month he waits to go to the big fenced in building with lots of guards and bars to visit his father. While he waits, he survives on memories of the good times he had with his father and also, he shares his feeling of sadness, embarrassment, love, and hope with his mother. It is not only a poignant reminder of a child's amazing love and forgiveness for his prodigal father but, also a story of the often forgotten victim of incarceration.
