The Yankee Bookshop and Zack's Place join withNorman Williams Public Libraryto introduce Jonathan Rintels and his book Lifemobile
Please Join us at Norman Williams Library at 7PM on December 4th for a book reading and signing
Author Jonathan Rintels reads from his novel, 
LIFEMOBILE
a moving celebration of the bond between a father
and his Asperger's diagnosed son.
USA Today Critic Robert Bianco calls it
"incredibly engaging...written with a deft touch,
engaging wit, and a sure eye
for what will ring warm and true."
A tender story about the love of a father for his son and what it means to be 'different' in a world of normal. Their shared experience in restoring an old Corvair, a truly 'different' car, brings them closer together while at the same time loosening the bonds that tether parent and child. Rintels uses humor and emotion deftly leaving the reader both laughing and crying. This is a beautiful story for anyone who ever imagined they might be 'different.'
