In my obsessive MySpace days, I befriended Denis Sheehan’s Bone Print profile and fell in love with the synopsis of his book, “A Nobody’s Nothings.” I knew it was going to be a good read, so I ordered one and later ordered one for George (Gutty). We have been telling everyone we know about the language, character, and emotion of this book. Folks are intrigued, but they aren’t the folk that indulge in reading so they smile, agree, and never act… and that’s fine. In hopes, that you are different from the others, you will order his book and we can share insiders. We love you Sheehan! Content is mature and not suitable for children or sensitive doodyheads.
Imagine being a 5-year-old child trapped inside of your own body with no way to verbally communicate. At such a young age, verbal communication is key to living because you are at the beginning stages of learning. What would you do? Would you teach yourself to read and write so you could at least communicate with adults? Being in pre-school, would you turn to poetry as an outlet for creativity while the other kids are on the mat playing toy trucks? What about reading books way beyond your grade level or skill to prove to your teachers that you have been wrongfully placed into a special education class because you cannot speak? Well, I know a man — a very wonderful, brilliant, intellectual, intelligent man who has done everything to beat the odds that face him and that man is Author Richard K. Lofton.
