This is a sweet story about mutual respect, acts of kindness, and dignity. I enjoyed the characters' innocence and purity of heart. But I didn't realize before I started that the author is literally a mathematician and knows a lot about baseball--the story goes into these subjects at length. At least with the math, you can learn to appreciate the numerical puns alongside the Housekeeper, but you're quite on your own when it comes to baseball plays and jargon.
