Luke is allergic to everything. He spends his days in a sterile safe-haven designed to keep out all light and dirt, while everything he knows about the world comes from books, movies, the internet and whatever his best-friend Julie tells him. He would do anything to go outside. Julie, brilliant and kind, could be out changing the world. Unfortunately, she'€™s too afraid of airplane crashes, highway accidents, and potentially life-threatening bacteria to leave her hometown, her pointless waitress job, or Luke. Charlotte'€™s boyfriend dropped dead from a brain hemorrhage. She disappeared for awhile, but now she'€™s decided that she misses her friends. David has just been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Consequently, he'€™s no longer wants to spend his days making pizza to pay for school. His priorities in life are changing; he just doesn'€™t know how, yet. Leanne has just discovered that she may or may not have magic powers. When this motley bunch befriends a lottery winner with a generous heart, they all embark on a hysterical and heartwarming journey in search of the healer who just might be able to cure Luke, and perhaps give them the answers they didn'€™t know they were looking for. From the Trade Paperback edition.
