MY BEST NUT
Sometimes all we can do is share the best of us with the rest of us.
Jude isn't the life of the party; he is the party. But this is only after he's forced to spend his days in the hospital fighting cancer. Soon the patients around him look forward to seeing him as much as they don't look forward to the next round of their own treatment.
My Best Nut is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of My Best Nut must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
