Nathan, a middle aged man, is out duck hunting when his dog sniffs out an amazing discovery. A tiny newborn baby left under the autumn leaves to die. Next of kin eventually take custody but Nathan is promised that one day he will be introduced to the young man by the grandmother who is looking after him. When he does eventually meet young Nat, his life changes forever. This is a great story of love, obligation, mentoring, patience, endurance, and hope in the most hopeless of situations. The story is well paced and the characters are real. The insights we gain from seeing a young man turn to rebellion is an education and the reader will feel the frustration as the story gains momentum. But love endures all and conquers all. It is an age old theme that makes a great story when crafted by a great writer.
Four stars for sure.
