Synopsis
If I tell you right up front, right
in the beginning that I lost him, it will be easier for you to bear. You will
know it’s coming, and it will hurt. But you’ll be able to prepare.
Someone found him in a laundry
basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to
death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a
basket at a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all
sorts of problems. I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that
ran down his body, like he’d been broken at
birth. I knew that wasn’t what the term meant, but the image stuck in my mind.
Maybe the fact that he was broken drew me to him from the start.
It all happened before I was
born, and by the time I met Moses and my mom told me all about him, the story
was old news and nobody wanted anything to do with him. People love babies,
even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids, and kids
grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a messed up teenager.
And Moses was messed up. Moses
was a law unto himself. But he was also strange and exotic and beautiful. To be
with him would change my life in ways I could never have imagined. Maybe I
should have stayed away. Maybe I should have listened. My mother warned me.
Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.
And so begins a story of pain and
promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. A story of before and
after, of new beginnings and never-endings. But most of all...a love story.

Excerpt
“I haven’t cried today,” I realized suddenly, and Moses
gave in and sat down beside me, his size and heat making me curl against him
and lean my head on his shoulder. He ran a big hand over my hair and left it
cradled against my face. I turned my cheek and kissed his palm and felt him
shudder. Then he wrapped both of his arms around me so I could bury my face in
his chest and he could rest his head on my hair.
“If you keep being sweet I will break my new record,” I whispered. “And
I’ll cry again.”
“Crying from sweetness doesn’t
count,” he whispered back, and I felt the moisture prick my eyes, just as I’d predicted. “Gi used to say happy tears
watered our gratitude. She even had a cross-stitch that said as much. I thought
it was stupid.” I could hear the smile in his voice.
“Ah . . . so Gi was a believer in the five greats.” I pressed my lips
against his throat, wanting to get as close to him as I could.
“Gi was a believer in all good things,” he rubbed his cheek softly against
my hair, nuzzling me.
“Especially you.”
“Even me,” Moses said, lifting his hand to my
chin.
