A beautiful truth

Summary: Walt and Judy are deeply in love, but Judy longs for a child and finds that life is holding few surprises. Walt measures all beauty against that of Judy but doesn't want her eyes to get any sadder. They stay side by side and search for distractions, realizing they may never have a family. On a day when hope seems low, Walt finds an unexpected opportunity in the pages of Life magazine. Soon they are welcoming Looee, born in Sierra Leone , into their home in the hills of Vermont , where they come to regard him as their son. The novel is told simultaneously from the perspective of humans and chimpanzees.
