Publisher's Synopsis
Buck's family doesn't quite know what to expect when Papa saves a baby otter,
but they certainly don't expect that otter to become part of their family. In this
historical fiction book, based on real events, Don Harris brings his readers a story
that provides insight into what life was really like for those living in 1916. Harris paints
a vivid picture of the the people, events, and things found in North Carolina during this
section of history from Papa heading off to war to Mama's priceless Appalachian quilts.
Join Buck and Blizzard as they experience the hardship that comes with growing up in
the early 1900s, and learn the value of family in the face of adversity.
