May's Boy: The Rest of the Story - Paperback

by Shirlee Monty (Author)

"May's Boy: The Rest of the Story" continues the amazing story of Leslie Lemke, one of less than l00 prodigious savants in the world, and of that group, Leslie is considered one of the most spectacularly musically gifted. Following the success of "May's Boy," Shirlee Monty and the Lemkes (Joe, May and Leslie) traveled throughout the country, responding to the demands for concerts and television appearances. It was a journey of joy, excitement and even the silence of disbelief as May saw audiences lifted to their feet again and again in tribute to her beloved son. Although May Lemke will always be remembered for her powerful love, determination, persistence and unshakeable belief in her foster son, readers of "The Rest of the Story" will discover many other facets of May Lemke's unique personality. They will discover that she was totally uninhibited, clearly unflappable, with a keen sense of humor, overwhelming love of children as well as disabled children and an irrepressible joy of living. Readers will be touched and amused by the captivating stories and anecdotes from chapters like "Getting Started, Extreme Generosity, Incredible Happenings" and "Taping at the Lemkes." It's a Road Show you're unlikely to forget. And it might even be a life-changing experience.
