Keeper and Kid
Buy: Amazon, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble
“A wonderful journey of thoughtful, reluctant fatherhood. Highly recommended.” - Library Journal
“A fine fetching novel with a good heart. Ed Hardy’s hip aphoristic narrator has an awesome range of allusion and metaphor. Even in his most trying moments Keeper is nimble and affecting, a tribute to the author’s endless comic inventiveness.” - Stewart O’Nan, author of Last Night At The Lobster
“In Leo {Hardy} has created one of the most enchantingly realistic tots in recent fiction. We don’t know whether to keep turning the pages or dive into them and offer to help baby-sit.” - Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe
“Keeper and Kid is an unconventional but skillful and ultimately satisfying novel. It leaves the reader with a true but too rarely expressed picture of how complicated life can become and how we all have the capacity to handle more than we think.” - Kristin Latina, The Providence Journal
