Isn't it so perfect?! I got the email right before I went to bed last night...and lets just say I had a really hard time falling asleep. :) The back cover will read something like this:
“It scares me
to think what Pa will do when he finds out . . .
but we can’t keep it a secret forever.”
but we can’t keep it a secret forever.”
David Riley is a typical, hard-working farm boy of the late
1800s, growing up in a Midwest community where
religion was a tradition that none dared to challenge. He and his friend Jill
set out to explore
the “Old Man’s Path,” to uncover the mystery of an old wives’ tale, and it turns into
more of an adventure than they bargained for. When they discover long-held secrets in the town of Detweiler , David is determined to find the
truth—regardless of the cost.
As he faces opposition in his
search for the truth, David also finds a battle waging within.
He and his friends struggle
to be kind to Henry, a cruel bully, and his mother, a widow bitter toward God. But
as his hatred for Henry grows, so does the darkness in his own heart. With an
emptiness that threatens to consume him, David despairs of ever pleasing God. When all prospects of finding peace appear lost, he
meets a strange old recluse, thought to be long dead, who offers him both
friendship and hope.
David discovers something in
common with the mysterious stranger—but what binds them together threatens to
tear his family and community apart. Will he have the courage and determination
to stand for what is right? Facing rejection in the greatest decision of his
life, David must choose which path to follow: a religious tradition to live by
or a faith to die for.
Well, just wanted to share my excitement with y'all. Have an awesome weekend!
