Jimmy / Robert Whitlow.
Jimmy knows hes different from the other teenagers in Piney Grove, Georgia. He's what people call slow, which means he doesn't always understand what he sees and hears. But Jimmy sees and hears a loteven the occasional angel. And Jimmy remembers it all with uncanny accuracy, which is why his lawyer father asks him to testify in a trial. Jimmys testimony saves the man from jail but has far-reaching consequences for himself and the people he loves. Peopled with a cast of Southern folk at once familiar and unexpected, Jimmy is an extraordinary tale about growing up in the midst of real struggle. Like Mark Twain and Harper Lee, Robert Whitlow uses an innocents limited viewpoint to illuminate complex human realitiesand to touch the heart. From the first encounter with Jimmy to that last bittersweet goodbye, Jimmy will enthrall and delight.
