Some people change every room they walk into. Cory Hastings changes every life.
Born with a condition that causes him to age ten times faster-physically and mentally-than everyone around him, Cory experiences childhood, adulthood, love, parenthood, and old age at a pace few could imagine.
Yet what makes him extraordinary is not how quickly he ages. It is the rare quality of attention he brings to every person he meets. He sees people as they long to be seen, changing families, friendships, and even strangers in ways they never expected.
A Boy Called Swift is an unforgettable novel about love, time, sacrifice, and the profound impact one remarkable life can have on countless others. It is a novel about the quality of life, filled with laughter and love and making every second count. It asks a timeless question:
What if the length of a life mattered far less than the depth with which it was lived?
Every second is a lifetime if you're paying attention.- Cory Hastings
