In this coming of age memoir, we follow young Danny Davis living in rural Oregon during the Great Depression and see through his hopeful eyes what he believes is the path to simply living a good life. Early tragedy orphans him, but the love and support of a multinational extended family leads him to a remarkable invention at thirteen years old, that sets the entire family up for life financially.

The characters woven through Danny's story will make you laugh, cry, and at times shock you, but one thing's for sure—once you start reading this book, you will want to keep reading and see how life's twists and turns shape Danny and prepare him for future adventures.

Written adeptly by the author, you are the fly on the wall and can't help feeling you are part of the scene, wondering if this story can really be true.

"… this story grabbed me from the first page. The amazing adventures and accomplishments of this young protagonist were a thrill to read."
