Shortlisted for the 2017 Jim Connors Dartmouth Book Award! John Alexander MacNeil is eighty years old. Sharp-tongued and quick-witted, he lives alone in rural Cape Breton, but he still cooks breakfast for his wife, who's been dead for thirty years. He silently starts to question his own mind after stopping to pick up a hitchhiker -- a hitchhiker who turns out to be his neighbour's mailbox. Everything shifts, though, when Emily, a pregnant teenager, shows up at his house with no place else to go. Determined to help Emily as best as he can, John must also keep the wolves from his door and maintain some semblance of sanity. The Unlikely Redemption of John Alexander MacNeil is a compelling, witty and heartwarming novel by renowned Nova Scotia author Lesley Choyce. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Well, enter Emily, a pregnant teenager with nowhere to go. Through Emily, our protagonist re-connects with estranged family members and the broader community. The book is often funny and the characters are so real. This is a story that shows that when you are down on your luck, someone will help you in unexpected ways....someone who is often a stranger. ( )
