Read an Excerpt

Maxie has made me a far more patient person. The fact that he has undergone such a transition has helped me to understand that not only can creatures be transformed but people can be transformed as well. He has such sweetness that he makes me feel sweet. He makes me be kinder to everybody around me. John and I are better people because of Maxie. There’s no question of it.
