Donny and Benny are best friends who live in a divided community. They each live on opposite sides of the railroad tracks that go right through the middle of town and symbolize its division. It is a town that is divided by wealth, race, and culture. Because of this, the boys constantly face peer pressure and have to cope with attempts by this divided community to sever their friendship. Donny, as we know from the previous book in this series, comes from a wealthy family. He is also popular in school and well-known in town as a great student athlete. However, he is rare because he does not let that cloud his judgment or influence who his friends are and how he cares about people. Most of his friends reside on Benny's side of the town.

Benny is not wealthy, and both of his parents work many hours to provide for their family. Benny feels very fortunate to have a friend like Donny because Donny has always been there for Benny, no matter what the situation is. Benny is most proud of Donny because the so-called popular kids in town and in school have not been able to convince Donny to discriminate against Benny and his friends. However, now it is Benny's turn to be there for Donny.

As we know from the previous book, their dog, Skipper, was killed. At the time, Donny was going through some tough personal issues with his family. Finally, at the end of the story, Donny was in a terrible accident in which he was hit by a car. At the beginning of this book, he remains unconscious and in critical condition in the Sabreville hospital.

I was born and raised in Cheektowaga, New York, near Buffalo. Go Bills! I currently reside in Ohio. I have two sons, Carson and Anderson Brubaker; they are now eighteen and sixteen years old, respectively. I also have two nephews, Tom and Peter, and three nieces, Anna, Grace, and Kelsea. I am the proud son of Ken and Irene Brubaker, who still reside in Cheektowaga, New York, and the proud brother of two amazing sisters, Joy and Debbi. I am currently a college business professor and a high school coach. I am fortunate each day to connect and interact with my students and athletes. It is a great day when I am able to teach, have conversations with them, and just see how they are doing. The purpose for writing this book series was to provide parents, children, and young adults the life lessons they can pass down through their family generations. I feel that it is important to find ways to give back and to sacrifice our talents, time, and energy for as many people as we possibly can. It is my hope that you feel the same way as I do, and that we all remain passionate about wanting to help others. My contact information is kbrubaker1280@gmail.com.
