Traveling light

"Travel light and you can sing in the robber's face" was the best advice Summer Zwolenick ever received from her father, though she didn't recognize it at the time. Three years after the accident that ended her career as a ballerina, she is back in the familiar suburbs of Dayton, Ohio, teaching at a local high school. But it wasn't nostalgia that called Summer home. It was her need to spend quality time with her brother, Todd, and his devoted partner, Jacob. Todd, the golden athlete whose strength and spirit encouraged Summer to nurture her own unique talents and follow her dream, is in the final stages of a terminal illness. In a few short months, he will be dead--leaving Summer only a handful of precious days to learn all the lessons her brother still has to teach her ... from how to love and how to live to how to let go.

  • "Een jonge Amerikaanse lerares probeert te accepteren dat haar iets oudere broer lijdt aan Aids en niet lang meer te leven heeft."
  • "A 26 anni Summer si sente smarrita. Sembra che tutto vada storto: un incidente ha messo fine alla sua carriera di ballerina; il suo fidanzato pretende una decisione che lei non è in grado di prendere; e, soprattutto, il suo adorato fratello Tom sta morendo di Aids. Nella cittadina dell'Ohio, dove si è trasferita per assistere Tom, e dove ha trovato lavoro come insegnante, Summer consuma le sue giornate in lunghe ore di osservazione e attesa. E osservando come Tom condivida il dolore ma anche la gioia con Jacob, il suo compagno, Summer comprenderà il vero significato della parola amore capirà come un sentimento così forte possa sconfiggere il tempo, il male, i pregiudizi e le differenze. (Alice)."
