Arthur Opp weighs 550 pounds and hasn‘t left his rambling Brooklyn home in a decade. Twenty miles away, in Yonkers, seventeen-year-old Kel Keller navigates life as the poor kid in a rich school and pins his hopes on what seems like a promising baseball career. The link between this unlikely pair is Kel‘s mother, Charlene, a former student of Arthur‘s.
EadieB Told with warmth and intelligence through Arthur and Kel‘s own quirky and lovable voices, Heft is the story of two improbable heroes whose connection transforms both their lives. This is a great book about an overweight 550 pound professor and a student who corresponds for 20 yrs. with secrets. She has a son who wants to be a major league baseball player. She is an alcoholic who ends up taking her life. 3w
EadieB He is searching for his father and then he meets Arthur through his letters. Arthur hires a housekeeper as he is preparing to clean up his house for when Charlene is coming over. His housekeeper, Yolanda, is pregnant and they become friends. It is a wonderful story that is so down to earth that is keeps the pages turning until the very end. I'm now looking forward to the next book from Liz Moore. 3w
