This is an intriguing historical fiction story about the famous street performer Jimmy. Jimmy was a devout Christian who felt it was important to help the needy. Jimmy had the option of becoming wealthy, but he thought it would be best to stay poor because he was a kind man who lived a modest life. The concept of kindness will be inspired in readers by this thought-provoking book.

Congrats on BOTS. Jimmy's story sounds alright, but I don't think books with a religious theme are for me.

The book has the impression of being packed with wisdom. lessons that emphasize that you may choose to be kind and that life always finds a way to balance itself. Kindness is the central idea of this novel. Today's world would be substantially different if everyone engaged in even a little practice. Congrats on BOTD!

I read this review (and the free part of the book on Amazon) just after I came home from an early morning drive in my city, where I witnessed our homeless people starting their day. I handed out some healthy food, but I know it only helps for an hour or two. Thus, this review really touched my heart. I look forward to reading the book.

"As much meaning as one can find in this life, for me it's, live simply and help others". This quote alone is enough to understand his character. This World need such people. Appreciate the author for writing such a topic.
Your review was very helpful. Perfectly analyzed and well described. Now I know if I have to consider reading this book or not.
