From Here To There

"A delightful story. Truly a quest for...truth in...the everyday things we all encounter as we wend our way through life."–R.E., a gentleman raised in Texas

Some families come into being through normal means; others are produced by poverty. An orphan himself, Benny comes "home" one night to five more orphans at the old warehouse. He resolves to help. Formulating a plan that can only be carried out with the help of some trusted mentors, their family begins.

Follow Benny and "his five" as their journey introduces them to a large disadvantaged family of Gypsies. Experience their happiness as they gain valuable skills to use for the rest of their lives: sewing, baking, beekeeping, gardening, canning, and more.

Learn the art of the farrier, blacksmith, cooper, and wheelwright of the past. Feel each child's joy as they find self-fulfillment through the medium of truth, love, and family. Theirs truly becomes a family welded by the fire of adversity, one whose commitment to one another is bigger than life.

"Some families come into being just because, but ours is a fact produced by poverty. Our family was welded by the fire of adversity. Our commitment to one another is bigger than life."

"A handbook of back-to-basics. A refreshing easy read that draws you along from one page to the other. ...The story takes you back to a time when children took on the thinking and work of adults at an early age and realized their own responsibility for themselves and those around them. [It] makes one wish for the days of working with your hands." –C.F., Midwest farmer

From Here to There is the first book in the series of four.
