"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS (DVD)--Dear Frankie

Jacquelene's DVD pick is Dear Frankie (2004)

Synopsis:  After having responded to her son's numerous letters in the guise of his father, a woman hires a stranger to pose as his dad when meeting him.

Jacquelene says:  Thoughtful, insightful story of a young Scottish boy's life, raised without a dad at home, by his mom and grandmother.  Speaks strongly to what a child loses by being "fatherless" and to the strength and love of a single mom.
