When visiting his grand-parents farm for the summer, teenager, Nate Martin, finds Lotty Pickle, hiding in their corn field. He has two choices, and a wrong move can hurt them both.
Long ago, Huckleberry Finn's dilemma was hiding his friend, Jim, the run-away slave. This more modern story shows those similar cruel attitudes haven't totally disappeared. Ongoing racial hatreds in 1958 Arkansas are sometimes still serious.
Lotty, a recently orphaned negro, and runaway teen, is surprised when Nate, a northern white, offers her a safe solution. Great...if he can make it work. They both know half the state is looking for her. Nate's dilemma is doubled by making not only Lottys enemies his own, but by real risks from his own family. Until his always sketchy plans for her can work, can he keep her safely hidden in grandpa's barn loft? And if he can't?
Beware of the fun moments and sometimes beautiful ones too. Sudden surprises are coming.

Finding her a safe place now leads him.Lotty may not exactly be the girl next door, nor is Nate some would-be heroic knight, but they're determined to face their dangerous situation with courage, ready always to run or fight. Soon enough, they'll have to do both. Artikel-Nr. 9798218776756
