Fourteen-year-old Richie runs off to the Missouri woods to take a break from his moody aunt. He soon discovers that he's been sent back in time fifty years. So, who sent him back? Could it be that oddly angelic truck driver?
Richie is a capable woodsman. But there's much he doesn't know, like how to survive a freak fall thunderstorm when he's dressed for summer. A reclusive African-American woodsman offers help, but Richie is suspicious. And soon, he finds himself caught up in the prejudices of an earlier era. He tries to help stop a terrible injustice.
Find out today why so many fans love this book and its positive message of reconciliation and hope.
