What a captivating and unique book. Ms. Wood developed credible characters and created a entralling plot. Her writing is superb (sentence formation, metaphors/similies, word choice etc.).
Quinn, a neglectful husband and father, finds himself fulfilling his deceased eleven-year-old son's Boy Scout assignment-doing chores for 104-year-old Lithuanian woman, Ona on Saturdays. As the Saturdays progress, Quinn realizes that he enjoys Ona and calls her his friend. He also discovers more about his son and decides to finish his son's goals for Ona, to have her earn an entry in the Guinness World Records.
Aspects I did not like-some swearing/including f-word, a mother, whose sons are in a Christian rock band, is quite rough and says their faith is just a phase-not exactly a positive of Christians, one of Ona's friends may have had relations w/ some high school boys she was teaching
