Sinopsis

Poverty and war form the historical backdrop for a stunningly sweet and joyous account of one boyâÇÖs youth in wild and unusual places. áThe Indian communities of the 1930s and âÇÖ40s in the Klamath Mountains. The small railroad towns in CaliforniaâÇÖs Central Valley during the Depression. These are the places that hold rich stories of life and times now almost forgotten. Except in the memories of a boy who experienced the adventure of living them.áAs the only white boy in an all-Indian school, young Paul Jennings developed strong relationships with his Native American classmates and neighbors. Those friendships produced sometimes bizarre, always character-shaping experiences Paul would never forget.áAn unexpected move threw Paul into a new set of circumstances that spawned his lively true stories of innocence in the time of the Depression, the historic migration of the 'Okies' from the Dust Bowl in the Midwest to CaliforniaâÇÖs agricultural fields, and World War II.áThanks to his familyâÇÖs unshakable faith in God, Paul survived and thrived in challenging times that shaped a generation.
