Kerry Thompson is not supposed to exist. Kerry Thompson was aborted nineteen years ago--and survived. Nineteen years later, Kerry contends with a myriad of health conditions and a heart full of hatred. A stint in the hospital sees Kerry cross paths with Sahara, a quirky little girl living in the pediatric ward, and her day nurse, Daniel, whose heart is as big as his earring collection. Challenged by their offers of friendship, Kerry starts to reevaluate his outlook on life--his self-image--and just how well he understands his mother.
