The Home for Wayward Clocks by Kathie Giorgio
5.0
This one is going to stick with me for awhile. I don't really know how to explain it without ruining the impact of the story. The broadest view I guess is to say that a very sad man has always found clocks comforting so he rescues as many as he can, fixes them and keeps them running in his home in a small town in Iowa. This becomes a museum, and that's where the story starts...and I honestly can't say ANYTHING about the plot except to say that thank God for kindness.
Also, several parts of the world I'm familiar with pop up here: Rockford (IL), southern WI, eastern IA, Chicago. It was startling to have them play such an important part in a really touching story. I'll never look at clocks--or storm cellars--the same way again.
