A whimsical, clever narrative. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)For thirty-eight years, Bartholomew Neil has lived with his mother. When she gets sick and dies, he has no idea how to be on his own. He thinks he's found a clue when he discovers a Free Tibet letter from Richard Gere hidden in his mother's underwear drawer. In her final days, Mom called him Richard—there must be a cosmic connection.Bartholomew awkwardly starts his new life, writing Gere a series of letters—Jung and the Dalai Lama, philosophy and faith, alien abduction and cat telepathy are all explored in his soul-baring epistles. But mostly the letters reveal one man's desire to assemble a family of his own.A struggling priest, a Girlbrarian, her feline-loving, foul-mouthed brother, and the spirit of Richard Gere all join the quest to help Bartholomew. In a rented Ford Focus, they travel to Canada to see the Cat Parliament and find his biological father . . .and discover so much more.It's impossible not to love each of these deeply flawed characters. . . . As funny as it is touching, Quick's latest effort is on par with Silver Linings. —USA TodayCompelling and important prose. . . . Fans of Wally Lamb, Mark Haddon, or Winston Groom will appreciate. —Library Journal", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers2/ebook/53/55/9780062285553_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "10.66", "our_price" : "10.66", "club_price" : "10.66", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "club_savings_amt" : "0", "club_savings_pct" : "0" } }
