Synopsis
In "The Rope Walk,"" "Carrie Brown crafts a luminous story of a young girl's coming of age during a crucial summer in New England. On her tenth birthday Alice meets two visitors to her quiet town: Theo, the African American grandson of her father's best friend, and Kenneth, an artist who has come home to convalesce. Theo forms an instant bond with Alice that will indelibly change them both. The pair in turn befriend Kenneth, and decide to build a "rope walk" through the woods for him, allowing to make his way through the outdoor world he has always loved. But their good intentions lead to surprising consequences, and Alice soon learns how different the world of children and adults really are., Two children begin a daily routine of reading aloud to an AIDS-stricken artist, who is losing his eyesight. The journals of Lewis and Clark prompt them to build a "rope walk" through the woods for Kenneth, and in the process they learn hard truths about the way adults see the world., In The Rope Walk , Carrie Brown crafts a luminous story of a young girl's coming of age during a crucial summer in New England.

The only thing that I would've liked more was for the book to come with an additional plastic covers like the other items in the parcel, however, the experience was still outstanding and the condition as described. Overall, the quality of the product for the price was outstanding. I am very thankful to this seller and their business!Ulysses Found by Ernle Bradford (1963, Hardcover) (#187041454864)
