Love That Boy Review

Love That Boy is a heartwarming story that shows how powerful acceptance is. Ron Fournier is a wonderful Detroit writer, and while I am blessed to be from the Detroit area and may have been persuaded to review this book because Detroit authors have quite the history (Mitch Albom, Elmore Leonard, etc.) I really wanted to get to know Ron the person better. He at first struggles to grasp with his son's Aspergers, as he tells him to not speak out of turn and other adults find him socially awkward at first. He even misunderstands former President George W. Bush when he tells him to love that boy. He thinks he means to love him in spite of his abnormalities, but at the end of the novel he says that he loves loves him and wishes he could be more like him. It is hard not to cry at the end of this 5 star book. It also is refreshing to read a book that has politicians in it that isn't political and portrays them as the imperfect yet servant leaders they truly are. 5/5
