When Arthur T. Owens makes a rash decision that lands him in juvie, he has no idea what his victim, James Hampton, has in store for him. Given a list of the Seven Most Important Things and an old shopping cart, Arthur is tasked with scouring through trash to find the items. Through his work, he makes discoveries about himself, his family, and the world around him. Told with raw emotion and tenderness, this is a story that will touch your heart and make you look at things a little differently.
As much as I adored this story, the author's note about the real James Hampton was a wonderful bonus. I immediately went online to research and read about this very, very interesting and talented individual. I couldn't stop poring over the photographs of his masterpiece.
Thank you, Ms. Pearsall, not only for writing a beautiful tale but also for introducing me to James Hampton.
