Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler

Once again, Anne Tyler takes us back to her beloved Baltimore with a story about Micah Mortimer, a likable oddball who lives rent-free in the basement apartment of a small building in exchange for being its super. We follow Micah as he goes about his orderly life and suddenly someone messes with his routines. His girlfriend is threatened with eviction and a young man shows up claiming that Micah is his father. A heartwarming story filled with humor and compassion.
