An addict at sixteen and high school drop out at seventeen, Todd Randall spent his life pushing the limits. Now he spends his days in his uncle’s auto body shop, struggling to stay clean, and refusing to get close to anyone because he fears he is unfit for human consumption. When he meets Shawna Clifton, for the first time he begins to see himself differently, and even though it scares the hell out of him, he feels compelled to reach for the life she offers. But when Shawna loses a pregnancy she never thought she’d have on the night Todd planned to propose, they are left with a choice: risking their heart for the unknown, or staying safe and simply getting by.

A touching, sometimes heartbreaking tale, The Wisdom to Know the Difference, is the unforgettable story of one man’s desire to accept his mistakes, find the courage to allow himself to truly love, and finally become the person he so wants to be.
