Описание: Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds s #1 "New York Times "bestselling and beloved story of a mother s love and dreams for her child is now available in a beautiful keepsake edition.
"One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one...
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too
That someday you will dive into the cool clear water of a lake...
Someday I will watch you brushing your child s hair...
Someday... "
A deceptively simple, powerful ode to the potential of love and the potential in life, "Someday" is the story of what every mother wishes for her child: a chance to live life at its fullest to experience great joys, to stretch, to grow, to understand sorrow, to have a future to have a someday. This shimmering, achingly beautiful, and poignant tale created by two great talents takes this idea and turns it into something that will touch every reader. "Someday," now available in a gorgeous keepsake edition, is a story you ll want to share with a special someone today and every day."

Описание: After his dad commits suicide, Will tries to overcome his own misery by secretly helping the people around him in this exquisitely crafted story made up of one hundred chapters of one hundred words each, by award-winning and bestselling author Alison McGhee.

Sixteen-year-old Will spends most of his days the same way: Working at the Dollar Only store, trying to replicate his late father's famous cornbread recipe, and walking the streets of Los Angeles. Will started walking after his father committed suicide, and three years later he hasn't stopped. But there are some places Will can't walk by: The blessings store with the chest of 100 Chinese blessings in the back, the bridge on Fourth Street where his father died, and his childhood friend Playa's house.

When Will learns Playa was raped at a party--a party he was at, where he saw Playa, and where he believes he could have stopped the worst from happening if he hadn't left early--it spurs Will to stop being complacent in his own sadness and do some good in the world. He begins to leave small gifts for everyone in his life, from Superman the homeless guy he passes on his way to work, to the Little Butterfly Dude he walks by on the way home, to Playa herself. And it is through those acts of kindness that Will is finally able to push past his own trauma and truly begin to live his life again. Oh, and discover the truth about that cornbread.
