A note from Val.
The first questions anyone asks me after reading the book are, “Is this a true story? Where is this place? Is it a real neighborhood? Was Harry a real person?
C’mon guys, you know novel writers really don’t want to go there. The names, careers, backgrounds have all been changed but not the love surrounding us all.
There was a neighborhood, there was an amazing man. I was lucky enough to have lived on a street and a community like that for many years. Much of the time I was a single parent and I found family, safety, love, kindness, and security for myself and my kids, mostly perpetuated by one man and those he inspired.
The themes I love in books or movies are stories about community and the power of place. Stories which illuminate the essence of building connection; neighbors reaching out, really seeing people and who they are.
