I am the Messenger by Mark Zusak

In the book "I am the messenger" by Mark Zusak was a book about Ed Kennedy who just doesn't know what to do with his life. He feels as though he'll die in his dirty cab. He has watched the rest of his family leave and become something, while he sits back in his tiny shed of a home and feed his dog and waste his money on a poker. But everything changes when he gets his first card.
    Each card he gets leads him to a whole new story in which he needs to fix some way. With each story he seems to find a little bit about himself. The idea of fixing peoples lives seem to much at first but he soon realizes how much pain each of the characters feel. It started out with a stressful rape case which Ed wants no part of until a little girl deeply effected by the case, looked right into Ed's eyes and asked so softly "are you here to help". i can only guess what Ed saw in that girl, but i know it was something that touched him. Not in his heart or soul. Something that touched his whole body. To understand that the card was for him and he wasn't supposed to drive his cab for the rest of his life. He was going to save this little girl, and so many more's future.
    "Are you a Saint?" The words were so small and so easily mistaken, but they were for the new Ed. The Ed that has the feeling of uplifting so many live that he could feel them under his feet as he walked. This new Ed who had all the names of the ones he saved. But who would answer that question honestly. "no. I'm just Ed." he replied
