A magical realism literary novel.

The family calls Dylan "slow" and his abusive mother claims he's wicked. He might not think fast. He takes awhile to form the words he wants, but Dylan has magic. He can spin marbles from oyster shells, and whip up Chicken Alfredo by tapping his thumbs together. Dylan hopes to be a famous chef someday and put his magic to good use. Unfortunately the only one to appreciate his supernatural abilities is his loving uncle and caretaker, a disabled Vietnam veteran. When Uncle Jim dies, Dylan is thrust into a world he's not ready for.

Beautiful story of acceptance and understanding

This is a wonderful story about a young man with a hard life. He is perceived as slow by his family and struggles with his self worth. His abusive mother has lost custody of him and all that he hae in life is his Uncle Jim, his beloved beach and his magic.
When Uncle Jim passes away, Dylan struggles to find a place to call home and someone to love.
Dianne Gardner has written a beautiful story about what it is like for Dylan to be different and yet the same as each one of us. We all need a place to be accepted and loved. Dylan found this acceptance in an unusual place and the story ended with a positive hope for his mother as well.
I really enjoyed this story.
