Years pass and Nathan assumes that the old lady has not kept her promise, until one day an angry, troubled boy arrives on his doorstep with a suitcase . . .

I think this is a must read book. It tells the story a child, Nat, from the day after he was born to adulthood. In the parrell story line, it also tells the story of Nathan from the day he found Nat.....as an abandoned newborn. It tells a story of unconditional love.
