Charlie's Monument: An Allegory of Love

Fiction, Juvenile Fiction, Novel
Mormons-Fiction
Adults scorned him, school children jeered him, yet Charlie was determined that his life would amount to something, that he would have not lived in vain. Born with only one arm, a twisted back, and badly deformed legs, and orphaned while still a boy, Charlie also carried with him the legacy of his resolute mother: 'You can do anything you want if you want it badly enough.' Charlie's will to live--and to live largely--will eventually win him the respect of his peers, the gratitude of his town, and even the love of a very special woman who is able to look beyond his deformities into his noble heart. --Amazon
