Summary |
Sprouse watched a homeless man pacing the garbage-strewn ground in his bare feet. She stopped to talk to him, and his ready acceptance of her was a welcome counterpoint to her internal struggle with guilt and shame at her past. She learned that Victor had been returning to that spot because it was the last place he had seen his mother-- three years earlier. When it became clear that he could not live safely on his own, Sprouse she and her family offered him a place in their home. What she learned about forgiveness, humility, and love changed her forever. -- adapted from jacket |
