Living with Earl
It has been 105 years since writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name "Mark Twain," took his final breath.But, nearly identical in appearance, personality, and authentic dress, you would think he was sitting in Tom's living room today--a traveler brought here through some freak accident involving time and space. You see, Tom has managed to inherit a most unusual houseguest. Not a doting relative or an old friend but a stranger who claims to be Mark Twain himself--a man who looks and acts the part, down to his dry wit and dramatic panache. One whom Tom knows by the name "Earl"...for reasons he'll get into later. As the two men get to know each other over the course of eye-opening conversations and humorous insights about the world, an unexpected deep friendship emerges--while Tom struggles to discover the origins of the mysterious guest once and for all. But when the truth gets a little too close for comfort, Tom must decide whether he wants to keep up the relentless search for the man's real identity...or simply relax and enjoy the (supposed) presence of one of history's greatest literary icons.
