A heartbreaking tale of pain, love, and redemption set in New York City
Approaching the Speed of Lightis a story of tragedy and triumph, fragility and strength. Victoria Lustbaders brave narrative shines a powerful light on the lasting damage caused by childhood demons that can prevent a life from blossoming, on the relationships needed in order to overcome them, and on one mans attempt to solve the elusive puzzle of true happiness.
Until he was nine years old, when he was adopted into a loving family, Jody was a little boy whose only experience of love was a painful, twisted hell. Now, two decades later, he moves from one woman to another, pointedly avoiding lovethe thing he wants most but has never known how to give or take. Jody trusts only his wise and faithful dog Einstein to truly understand him and the darkness that haunts his life even in the bright light of a summers day.
A chance meeting with Tess, an elderly woman still mourning her long-dead son, sends Jody on a journey back to the tortured memories buried deep below his scars. Tess brings Jody together with Ella Landreth and her shy young son, Evan. These people grow to need one another far more than any of them could have ever imagined.
Lustbadernails the mental and physical horrors of living without love, approval, or basic comforts. And, although Jodys childhood is over-the-top terrible, few will fail to be moved by the childs plight.Kirkus Reviews
