This book is about a prominent white family in Mt. Juliet that adopts an African American baby at the beginning of the 1900's. The child's mother is a young field hand that under duress got into trouble with a white man that lived on Central Pike. She was afraid of her family finding about this unfortunate incident. She gave birth to the child alone, during a rainstorm, and took the baby to her friend Albert, a worker employed by Perry Quartermain, who lived on Central Pike. The Quartermains, who ran a dairy, and were very prosperous were considered the upper crust of the community. This community was located almost midway between Lebanon on the East, and the Stones River Bridge on the West. The families in this community were somewhat different from each other, although in some ways they were much alike. They were hard-working, kind, gentle, and church-goers. The Quartermains were pillars of the community, and were looked on with great, warmth and respect. It was baffling to many families as to why the Quartermains would adopt a black child and raise it as one of their own. Out of respect this kind of talk was always behind closed doors. There were those who said they knew why, but would not say. This story follows the growth of the black child along with the other Quartermain children, as well as the lives of many neighbors, and friends as they lived through the Great Depression, and the Great Wars, while coping with the many problems and mishaps that they encountered in their daily lives. The glaring question that remains unanswered until the very end, was, "e;Who was the white man that took advantage of Lucy, a young black woman, and fathered this black baby that was raised as a son by the Quartermains?"e;

Very few adults, let alone children, have experienced their inner voice. The inner voice is a big part of our decision making. Should we choose this, or should we choose that? Is this right or is this wrong? Do we wish to be good or have fun that we know will get us into trouble later? Somehow, we already know which is good and which is bad. If we learn to listen to our inner voice it will lead us to do the right thing. I have written this story to help children start learning about their inner feelings and inner wisdom. The inner feeling or inner voice can keep us safe from harm if we learn to listen to it. Some might say it is our Creator talking to us. Some might say it is our guardian angel keeping us safe. No matter what we call this phenomenon, it is real. The sooner we can recognize it the better o we will be.
