- Synopsis
- Miss Dixie called me Mister. My name is actually Austin Carroll. If she was right and the earth did tremble under her bedroom slippers, it must have all started the week before my eleventh birthday. That's when Daddy brought the convicts home. When Austin discovers the convicts have run away from the fields of his family's North Carolina farm, he knows trouble lies ahead in the summer of 1958. Later, he finds one of the convicts, Bass, seriously injured, and Austin faces the decision of whether to help the man. Under the cloak of night, he and his aunt, Ada, bring Bass to a secret shelter. They soon realize that keeping the wounded man safe has placed them in danger-especially with the volatile Hitcher boys on Bass's trail. Donal Harding's suspenseful adventure story will hook readers from page one and will stay with them long after the final page is turned.
