THE MORNING CHORUS

Book ID/图书代码： 02330014B73443

English Summary/英文概要： When his sweet, strange 11-year-old son suddenly dies, absentee father Quinn agrees to the request of his twice-ex wife and truest friend Belle that he complete the requirements for their son’s one unfinished Boy Scout badge. For seven Saturdays, Quinn is obliged to do yard work for Ona Vitkus, a 104-year-old Lithuanian immigrant, who reveals to Quinn that his son had persuaded her to try for the Guinness record of Oldest Licensed Driver. Quinn soon learns that this is the least of Ona’s secrets. A reluctant confidante, but aching with remorse over his failure as a family man, Quinn finds himself in a complex relationship that opens an unexpected road toward his own personal redemption. The Morning Chorus is the story of a friendship, guided by an ever-present child, that grants two unlikely people a second chance at life.
