The Childgrove

"Time is not what you think it is."

When John, a nine-year-old boy from 1966, hears his own voice whisper in his head, it ultimately leads to a psychotic break and the truth behind the visions in his mind.

Meanwhile, Edward, another nine-year-old boy from 1914, is trapped by the tragic circumstances of his family's secrets.

Somehow, their lives are linked by tragedy, redemption, pain, and triumph in a109 year-long journey that will take a toll on them both, teach them about a bond stronger than time, and change the future for so many others along the way.

This was my life, and these are my memories of it, real and imagined. Sometimes the line between them gets so indistinct as to be meaningless. It is a ghost story set in the dying shadows of old St. Joseph, Missouri's glory days, where no fences divided the airstrip lawns of imagination for children's feet to tread. The summer of 1966 would change me, and by fall, I would not be the same child. Adventure does that to you, and sometimes it leaves scars.

The Childgrove is set against two eras of change in the Midwestern city of St. Joseph, MO, and the real people and events that linked them together. This greatly expanded edition combines the original novellas 'The Childgrove' 'and 'Edward,' plus all-new dramatic content told in echoes that lead to startling secrets and an emotional conclusion.
