(2) YA Days after halting a bungled bank robbery, Ed Kennedy receives a playing card in the mail with three addresses written on it. As he visits each location, the aimless nineteen-year-old cabbie discovers troubled occupants in desperate need of assistance and finds a sense of purpose in his own directionless life. The laid-back, dryly humorous first-person voice is engaging and unsentimental.
