Description

For Bud Marshall, growing up in a rural Maine town would be challenging enough if it weren't for the fact that fate dealt him a difficult hand to begin with. Left to be raised by his grandparents, Bud struggles to discover himself as he pursues the dream of realizing greatness in his own life. Fortunately for Bud, he has help on his journey of discovery from the girl next door. Teresa Peterson, a precocious youth one year his junior, both acts to guide and confound Bud's decisions. But sometimes, the ones we are closest to, are those we hurt the most. A profoundly human story about family, friendship, and love, in which Bud learns as he matures that it is taking responsibility for his own life, and making choices in conscious awareness of who he is, that will shape his destiny. Can he overcome his past mistakes, and build a real foundation for the future? --What people are saying-- "An inspiring and deeply profound masterpiece." - Stephen R.
