My Name Is Edward
Annmarie Topel, author
Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)
Unwanted and neglected since birth, Edward struggles to find his way in the world. With the death of the grandmother who was raising him, Edward is left with no one. Eventually, he is forced to take to the streets where he finds that his struggles are more than just surviving. Battling internal demons and unable to trust anyone, the hope he fought to hang onto fades, and he begins to lose his grip.
Ann, a high-powered businesswoman with barely enough hours in the day to manage her own busy life, stumbles upon Edward while taking a detour to work one morning. Something about him grabs her deep within her soul and draws her to him. While their lives look nothing alike on the outside, it isn’t long before the parallels and their shared pain are exposed.
As Ann fights to save Edward, she discovers that their chance meeting irrevocably changes both their lives, and that helping him might be more about helping herself.

Amazon
This novel is not fantasy or escapist adventure. The skillful writing of this first time author is a heart wrenching real life based story of two very different people who connect at a profoundly human level. It will make you want to be better. After it makes you cry.
