Publisher's Synopsis
Theresa and Jeffery Ryder's marriage started out perfectly-that is, until their free-fall spiral to hell. IN the midst of a divorce, and abandoned by his rich parents, thirteen-year-old Norton Ryder gains the guidance of a retired Afro-american NFL football player named Percy Hawkins. Neither realizes at first that their lives will be enriched by their relationship, but almost immediately imperiled by the shocking death of their small town slumlord. A little like To Kill a Mockingbird or Stand by Me, the drama that ensues blindsides them both and brings to the forefront a courtroom drama where the true meaning of loyalty, friendship, and honor finally emerges. At a time when racial questions continue to unsettle, Catching Baby Moses is a family drama filled with hope, intrigue, and the desire to overcome evil with good.
