May's Boy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Not the best written book I've ever read from a literary standpoint but the story is incredible. It is heartwarming to see that there are still people who are willing to make major sacrifices for the good of another. May was a truly selfless, humble person who gave all the glory to God and never patted herself on the back for all she had done nor did she seek notoriety for herself.

This is the true story of Leslie Lemke, a severely disabled musical savant whose remarkable talents emerged as a result of the unfailing love and faith of his adoptive mother, May Lemke. Shirlee Monty's prose is both honest and elegant, and is a fitting vehicle for this truly uplifting tale. Those in need of spiritual rejuvenation would do well to turn to Monty's masterful work before picking up Simple Abundance or Chicken Soup for the Soul.
