“How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?”

Set in a small town in the middle of the deep South, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is the story of John Singer, a lonely deaf-mute, and a disparate group of people who are drawn toward his kind, sympathetic nature. The owner of the café where Singer eats every day, a young girl desperate to grow up, an angry drunkard, a frustrated black doctor: each pours their heart out to Singer, their silent confidant, and he in turn changes their disenchanted lives in ways they could never imagine.
