What would your life be like if you did not require sleep? Jacob has never slept in his life. He was abandoned to an orphanage after his parents discovered his anomaly, unable to cope with a child different from perhaps every else in the world. Raised by a sympathetic nun, Jacob is protected from the outside world until he has to leave the orphanage. This book explores what it would be like to be different from everyone else, and what your life would look like if you were always awake. Provocative, challenging, and even spiritual at times, "Awake" will help you have compassion for those who are different.
