    About this ebook

    In 1959, Iowa farmer Dutch Beal marries a divorcee with 3 children and begins a new life with a ready-made family on his farm located near Ledges State Park. Ledges holds a secret for Dutch that he does not want revealed to Michele or his step-kids. Juvenile siblings Ben and Pam have a tough time adjusting to farm life and Dutch's temper. Their mute bus driver, Gene Rainbow, is aware of Dutch's short fuse. Gene knows his new passengers are in jeopardy, and soon begins steering this emotional roller coaster ride back into the heart of Ledges. Each chapter moves closer to the truth with unforgettable characters like Darlene Rainbow, Gene's wild niece and Michele's substitute babysitter, who trades Ben and Pam secret information about Dutch for things their mother will never miss. Fasten your seat belt when approaching the summit of Ledges for one long breath-holding fall into a 30-page stand-off between 2 city kids and one pissed-off farmer. Over 200,000 readers sum up in 2 words when asked to describe this family-in-jeopardy farm/thriller: BRING KLEENEX.
