nA moving story of family, loss, love, and hope.n nNoah Nicholson has a gift. He is blessed with extraordinary hand-eye coordination. This gift has helped him build a successful career as a minor-league hockey player. But Noah is damaged. His parents died in a car accident when he was twelve, and he has dealt with mental health issues ever since. Its only after Noah loses his gift in a career-ending injury that he is able to begin the healing process.n nReaders will meet indelible characters: Noahs mother, cerebral and mentally tough; his good-natured, even-keeled father; his crusty grandmother, who has a soft spot for Bostons sports teams; his effervescent, talented, Russian-born teammate, who becomes Noahs mentee; an orange cat whose meow doesnt have an m; an eleven-year-old girl who looks like Pippi Longstocking; and the pediatric dentist with a sense of humor and a crooked smile who makes her way past Noahs defenses and captures his heart. Then, of course, there is Noah himself. Smart, selfless, and silently struggling. We cheer for Noah, but unlike the fans who come to watch him play, it is not in appreciation of his singular, one-of-a-kind gift. Instead, we cheer for Noah because he isn nplainly, ordinarily human.n
