Description


At ten years old, Will has a nose for adventure. His curiosity often gets him into trouble—but this summer, it may lead him somewhere extraordinary. During a family camping trip in the mountains, an argument with his older sister sends Will wandering off alone. Before long, he finds himself lost in the wilderness with no clear way home. As fear and uncertainty begin to take hold, Will notices something unusual. Crosses seem to appear along his journey—hidden in places he never would have expected. Each one offers a lesson, a reminder, or a clue that helps guide him forward. Along the way, Will meets an unforgettable Saint Bernard named Halo. Together, boy and dog navigate rushing rivers, forgotten trails, abandoned train yards, and unexpected dangers as Will searches for his family and discovers that he may never have been as alone as he thought. Inspired by the family poem Where the Crosses Grow, this heartwarming adventure reminds readers that faith can be found in unexpected places and that God's guidance is often closer than we realize. Perfect for readers ages 8–12 and families who enjoy uplifting stories filled with adventure, courage, friendship, and faith. Book One of the Where the Crosses Grow Series
