| Publisher Description: In the fifth novel of Michael Lund's Route 66 Novel series, the lives of four young Missourians are changed when a bottle comes to the surface of one of the state's many natural springs. Inside is a letter written by a girl a dozen years after the end of the Civil War. Lucy Rivers Johns' epistle contains a sad story of family failure and a powerful plea for help. This message from the last century crystallizes the individual frustrations of Janet Masters, Freddy Sills, Louis Clark, and Roberta Green, a group of kids growing up near Route 66 around 1960. Their response to the past charts a bold path into the future, a path inspired by the Mother Road itself. About Michael Lund's earlier novels: "extremely heartwarming and nostalgic look at young people's angst during this age of wonder," says ROUTE 66 FEDERATION NEWS "funny stories of adolescence in the 1950's," says MISSOURI LIFE "a good read," says ROUTE 66 MAGAZINE |
