Description
Harry Trellman doesn't quite fit in. Not in the orphanage he was sent to by his mother, not in high school, and certainly not on the streets. Yet, despite being an outsider, he has always been a keen observer of human nature. This skill catches the attention of Sigmund Adletsky, a wealthy Chicago billionaire who takes Harry into his inner circle as a trusted advisor. As they discuss everyday matters, Harry's guarded emotions begin to surface. The old man is able to see beyond Harry's reserved exterior and brings him together with Amy Wustrin, someone Harry has secretly loved for forty years. Their reunion occurs at the cemetery, where Amy's husband is being reburied, allowing Harry to finally express his true feelings. This poignant story explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of genuine connection.
