From the Publisher:

In 1945, a sixteen-year-old English schoolboy and a fifteen-year-old North Carolina girl began a correspondence that would span over forty years. Through these letters, the authors reveal personal hopes and disappointments, witness history, and develop a highly literate and supportive friendship.

About the Author:

"It was your charismatic smile that drew me to your house that day in 1974,' Toni said later. But poverty was the magnet...the more hardships Toni and I encountered, the closer we became. I can remember times when we had to use her car and my spare tire, or my car and her distributor cap to go grocery shopping."

Drawn from a life beset by but unyielding to tragedy, Rogers' story is a testimony to the spirit's resilience and the power of faith. Through an alarming obstacle course of illness and betrayal, friendship prevails and an unforgettable character is formed.
