“Nice to meet you…?”
“Jude.”
“Like
Judith?”
“No.”
“Like
Judas?” he teased.
“Like
hey,” I finally said.
In
1985 eighteen-year-old Jude Hastings loses her deaf twin sister to a
brain aneurysm. A year later her longtime boyfriend dumps her for
taking too long to grieve. Jude’s relationship with her parents is
more volatile than ever because she’s the child who lived. The next
four years see Jude on a path of destruction, leaving a trail of
alcohol-induced nights and a laundry list of nameless men in her
wake. Love simply doesn’t exist in her world.
Until
she meets Shea Sullivan, an unreachable four-year-old deaf boy who
steals her heart when she is hired to be his full-time nanny, based
solely on her sign language skills. Things on the surface are not as
they seem, as Jude quickly learns that Shea is a very troubled little
boy with a history of violent behavior, uncontrollable outbursts and
a cold, overbearing and curmudgeonly father. There’s no denying the
connection Jude shares with Shea, but is it enough to keep her
working in his unbearable father’s home?
“Hey
Jude” is the story of a young woman and a child who desperately
need each other, with outside circumstances fighting against them at
every turn. It’s a story that will make you laugh, make you cry,
and make you question everything you know about connections of the
spirit.
