On a bright afternoon in February 1910, thirteen-year-old Tommy Dumont witnesses the most stupendous event he has ever seen-the first flight of a powered airplane in Denver history. But only months later, this enterprising son of a wealthy banker is living on the city’s streets and alleys because his father is appalled by the epileptic seizures that have begun to regularly overtake him. Eventually looked after by both an Irish immigrant who earns her living as a prostitute and Denver’s renowned juvenile court Judge Ben Lindsey, Tommy survives by his bountiful wits and his determination to make something of his life despite his seizures until the judge make a life-changing request of him. Tommy is a remarkable character, and his story is one of courage and friendship, tragedy and redemption. Martin is, first and foremost, a consummate storyteller, says Kirkus Reviews. Daily Bread is a novella that will capture your heart and linger in your memory
