Summer of Light by W. Dale Cramer

Mick Brannigan, high rise construction worker, loses his job after an accident (might or might not be his fault) on the job. His wife Layne has wanted him to take some time off and keep the kids while she works so to her way of thinking, this is perfect timing. Four-year-old Dylan needs some extra attention because of sensory integration dysfunction and it is up to Mick to give it to him. Should be a snap thinks Mick and after a few mishaps he feels maybe it is in the cards for him to do this. With the help of neighbors Hap and Aubrey and his homeless friend "The Man With No Hands", Mick finds fulfillment and meaning in his life. Some laugh-out-loud moments, Mick entertains with his down-to-earth philosophy of life and Layne is a good-humored caring mom/working woman. I greatly enjoyed this story, could see it happen in real life. Sandy Penton
