What is Watching Jimmy about?

A novel of danger, warmth, and dark humor -- about a brain-damaged young boy and the friend who knows a terrible secret. Watching Jimmy is an impossible-to-put-down novel full of danger, warmth, and dark humor. With shocking candor, young Carolyn relates the truth about what really happened to her best friend, Jimmy, when his Uncle Ted chose the perfect time to teach him a lesson he'd never forget. The truth is, Jimmy didn't fall from a swing like Uncle Ted claims -- Carolyn knows, because she saw everything.

But perhaps her biggest challenge will lie in finding a way to get Jim
