What a wonderful book. I was swept away by Al, his songs, his sadness, and at the bottom of it all, his kind heart. Al is a songwriter who has suffered from depression his whole life, he is from Reno, and the story follows him from almost-making it a few times, to not making it; to drinking, and sometimes not drinking; to falling in love, and losing that too. And then there is the old horse that shows up outside his door. I'm not really sure how to describe this book...it is musical, and sad, and uplifting all at once. I wish Al was real so I could hear his songs.
