Meet Elliott.
Elliott is hugely intelligent. He's an incredible observer. He has a beautiful
and unusual imagination. To know him is to adore him.
But Elliott is also stuck. He lives in an orphanage in 1979. He spends his days
in a wheelchair, in an empty corridor, or wherever the Catholic Sisters who run
the ward have decided to park him.
So when Jim, blind and mute but also headstrong, arrives on the ward and begins
to defy the Sisters' restrictive rules, Elliott finally sees a chance for
escape. Together, they could achieve a magnificent freedom - if only for a few
hours.
But how can Elliott, unable to move or speak clearly, communicate all this to
Jim? How can he even get Jim to know he exists?
Patience is a remarkable story of love and friendship, courage and adventure. It
is also about finding joy in the most unlikely of settings. Elliott and Jim are
going to have fun.
