Lou is the main character and a busy business man, always
in a hurry. The reader might not like this character
instantly, however, that is that author's intention. He
never seems to have much time for his family and they are
slowly slipping into a lower priority position all the
time.
Gabe is a homeless man who Lou decides to help, quite
randomly. There was no real reason, it just happened. What
happens after this event changes Lou's life. Gabe's aid in
Lou's overall life and decisions is huge, the effect is
immediately obvious. Gabe will be very likable to the
reader, he can be smart, kind, and guiding. Lou will be
slightly angry when it seems like his family really takes
to Gabe.
The book takes off rather quickly, in the first couple of
chapters and picks up from there. The characters, for the
most part, are easy to relate to and enjoy. The events are
fast-paced and interesting.
Lou Suffern’s successful career demands that he be in two
places at one time—and neither of those is with his devoted
wife and children. One frigid morning Lou meets a homeless
man named Gabe and buys him a cup of coffee . . . then gives
him a job—a random act of kindness that surprises Lou most
of all. But soon Gabe is meddling uncomfortably in Lou’s
life, popping up at the most inopportune times—as if Gabe
actually can be in two places at once. With Lou’s personal
and professional fates at important crossroads and Christmas
looming, Gabe resorts to some unorthodox methods to show his
stubborn patron what truly matters and how precious the gift
of time is. But can he help him fix what’s broken before
it’s too late?
