Synopsis:

An off-beat love story set in small-town America, by the author of "Max Lakeman and the Beautiful Stranger". At 16, Louis got burned. For years he hid his disfigurement under a baseball cap and a scarf, but one day he realized that life was there to be lived, not just watched from a bedroom window.

About the Author:

Jon Cohen, a former critical care nurse, wrote his first novel between hospital shifts and raising two children. After receiving a creative writing grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, he turned to writing full time. His two novels, both critically acclaimed, are The Man in the Window and Max Lakeman and the Beautiful Stranger. Setting his sights on Hollywood, he purchased a “how-to” book on screenwriting. He has since written numerous screenplays for Fox, Warner Bros., and Sony, and he is the cowriter of Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg. Jon lives with his wife outside of Philadelphia and is currently working on a new novel.
