Book excerpt: Johnny Hendricks has begun building a youth mission in the historical district of Hancock, in Michigans upper Peninsula. Along with the characters from Keweenaw Grace, he is joined by a banjo picker from Eastern Kentucky; a beautiful fiddler from Northern Ireland; a ninetyeight and a half year old retired school teacher with a secret, and a quiet track coach with a past. Thrown together against a back drop of the Keweenaw Peninsula on Lake Superior, this group seeks to help Johnny fulfill his vision in spite of some challenging twists and turns.
