About the book

On a Spring day in 1953, eleven-year-old William Henry finds a young boy of color, abandoned by his parents in the tobacco fields in Jonesborough Tennessee. William and his 78-year-old Auntie Hawke hide the child in the family barn and slowly integrate him into their family, but the Jonesborough community has a different opinion of this young stranger. On the front porch of their clapboard farm house Auntie corrects everything William hears and sees form his teachers, friends and school yard peers. Segregation, bigotry and hatred were prime topics of discussion, as Auntie tries to root out many of the lessons that have infected William’s mind. However, it is not until the young boy runs away, that William finds out first hand, about love, friendship and responsibility.
