Ten-year-old Trenton O’Rourke’s life was changed forever during the summer of 1944. He and his family lived on a fading farm like many others in the small town of Angel Point, Mississippi. With family, friends and neighbors fighting overseas in World War II, and rising racial tensions back home, what was normally a routine summer turned into a nightmare of murder and loss, trying to cope with hard times to survive and the surprise learning experiences of growing up. Trenton’s life would have never been the same had it not been for a chance encounter with someone nobody thought possible.
A novel from John L. Lansdale (Slow Bullet, Zombie Gold, Hell's Bounty)
