Pauley Stratton is as tall as a tree and deeply loves and cares for the people in his life-especially his crippled mother Willow. The Desert Grangians and the City Fathers want Pauley in the worst kind of way for the worst kind of reasons. As he flees their greedy pursuit, Pauley meets Mac and the two set out together in an adventure that will reshape them forever in dark and moving ways. Travel with them toward, in and out of the City of Promise and all that lies beneath. This fantasy adventure of friendship, forgiveness and freedom is lovingly illustrated by the author.
