A story of an 18-year (1976-1994) pen-pal friendship between two very different people. Mary Daisy Dinkle is a lonely 8-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Max Jerry Horovitz is a 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger syndrome who lives in New York City. They didn't know each other until Mary randomly points to a name in phone book in hopes of gaining an answer to where babies come from in America.

So begins the extraordinary communication between these two lonely souls. They discuss everything from obesity, autism, alcoholism, religious differences and any other topics that comes to mind.

As Mary turns into a young lady, she runs into some discouragements. She arrives in NY with her baby after rebuilding her life but loses the chance to talk with Max.

这个故事描述了两个截然不同的笔友之间绵延18年（1976-1994）的友谊。Mary Daisy Dinkle是一个8岁大的孤独女孩，住在墨尔本郊区。Max Jerry Horovitz是一个44岁的犹太男子，住在纽约，患有Asperger综合症。本来他们互不相识，但有一次Mary想弄明白美国的小孩都是怎么生出来的，就在电话簿中随便挑了个名字。

于是两个孤独的人就开始了非同寻常的交流。他们谈论肥胖、自闭症、酗酒、宗教差异以及随便想起来的其他话题。

Mary长大成人之后遭受了一些挫折。她重新振作，带着小孩来到纽约，但却再也没有机会跟Max说话了。
