"Tom Leyton, a reclusive Vietnam veteran, has been the subject of gossip and rumour for thirty years. When Joseph Davidson, his young neighbour and a talented artist, is asked to draw a portrait of him, an uneasy relationship begins to unfold, one that will force each of them to confront his darkest secrets.
This a story about how we perceive others, the judgements we make about them, how we cope with tragedy, and the nature of miracles." (Source: Author's website)
