Publisher's Synopsis
When teenage orphan Henry Buckner Barlow sets sail from Ireland, he never imagines the life awaiting him in his new home. Quickly forced into the responsibilities of manhood, young Buck finds himself in the role of parent to two boys-one a plantation runaway; the other, a jail escapee-who are nearly his age. Together, they face the struggles of mid-nineteenth century farm life as they grow, mature, and create a family bond never to be broken. In A New Day Tomorrow, author Hilda C. Barlow fictionalizes her family history and gives readers a poignant, insightful, and sometimes funny view into life as it once was, when people worked hard together and when Christian values formed the heart of a family...and a community.
