Dreams and fate are enemies. One fills you with hope. The other steals your future.
No one knows that better than Jimmy Rakes. He has visions of independence and runs away from home at age four. He might not make it past the neighboring farm, but if he can escape his mean grandfather for even a few hours, it's worth it.
Growing up in a small rural community isn't all bad, though, even when the world is living by a different set of rules. He just doesn't understand why adults can break them when it suits them but he can't. Their actions send a ripple effect throughout Benton County, Arkansas, with the craziest happenings one can imagine. Some entertaining. Some tragic. But never a dull moment.
Living on a farm when families are rebuilding their lives after The Great Depression is hard. But what Jimmy doesn't grasp yet is that his tough experiences are building character, courage, and confidence—the three Cs he will need one day when fate hurls him into a life-threatening event.
