The Codger and the Sparrow

Hank O'Sullivan is getting older. Widowed and alone, he goes through life mechanically as the days pass on and on... 


One day he meets Luis, a sixteen year old boy, trying to make his way through life. They are complete opposites. One is old. One is young. One has family. One has none. One is cantankerous and cranky while the other is boisterous and level-headed. One is full of life and the other? Maybe just wants it to be done. 


Weirdly, they strike up a friendship. One which shows that life can sometimes bring the right people into focus at just the right time. And while it may seem like you have nothing in common...well sometimes life surprises you there too and maybe knows a little better than you know yourself. 


I absolutely loved this one. Two worlds colliding with young meets old and peppy meets grumpy. I LOVE Hank, the old codger
