Customer Reviews

Interesting

A decent account about a severely handicapped child was willed into his abilities by May his foster parent. He is an idiot savant when it comes to playing and mimicking any music he hears. The movie with Cloris Leachman was better.

May's Boy

Not the best written book I've ever read from a literary standpoint but the story is incredible. It is heartwarming to see that there are still people who are willing to make major sacrifices for the good of another. May was a truly selfless, humble person who gave all the glory to God and never patted herself on the back for all she had done nor did she seek notoriety for herself.

AMAZING TRUE STORY

MAY TRULEY HAD PATIENCE & LOVE!! HER "BOY" IS, A GOOD PIANO PLAYER TOO!! I HAVE WATCHED HIM ON UTUBE!!

An eloquent testimony to the healing power of faith and love

This is the true story of Leslie Lemke, a severely disabled musical savant whose remarkable talents emerged as a result of the unfailing love and faith of his adoptive mother, May Lemke. Shirlee Monty's prose is both honest and elegant, and is a fitting vehicle for this truly uplifting tale. Those in need of spiritual rejuvenation would do well to turn to Monty's masterful work before picking up Simple Abundance or Chicken Soup for the Soul.
