Dark brown is the river: an orphan's journey
(Book)
"When little Wesley Tooper loses his mother, he loses a world he thought would last forever. After a dreadful stay in a more-than-dreadful orphanage, he and his older brother escape to live as child hobos during the heyday of the railroads. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartfelt, Dark Brown is the River; an Orphan's Journey, based on the life of the author's father, takes the reader through more than a few heart-stopping moments as Wesley searches for his two lost brothers. Each attempt moves the story excitingly forward as he struggles to repair his broken family. Lund brings forth a deep feeling of the human spirit and the indomitable strength of family. It is the story of a boy growing into a man in a keenly-felt time (includes WWI and roaring twenties) and mind-boggling circumstances. All this, combined with the author's compassion for her characters and swiftly-moving dialogue bring depth and power to this rite-of-passage tale" --Back cover.
