Description
In the summer of 1932, four orphaned children flee a harsh Minnesota boarding school and embark on an unforgettable canoe journey down the Mississippi River. As they navigate a country strained by the Great Depression, they encounter strangers whose kindness, cruelty, and secrets challenge their understanding of family and freedom. Their perilous passage becomes a sweeping coming-of-age adventure about resilience, friendship, faith, and the enduring search for a place to belong. Richly atmospheric and deeply compassionate, the novel blends historical fiction with the emotional force of an American odyssey.
