An interesting book that features a father-son relationship, the adult son has Down syndrome and the father is coming close to death. Who will take care of his son, an adult child who has brought so much joy to him? He takes a job as a census taker for a shadowy governmental agency and leaves town with his son to travel north to collect data and see the countryside. This trip frames experiences between the two and other people they meet along the way. Family history is woven into the story through people they meet and memories. This is a beautifully told story that really revolves around the father and son.
