| Border
Baker is happy living in New Mexico when his father inherits the family
home in Minnesota. Border does not look forward to moving yet again. After
all, he's already moved six times during his sixteen years of life. That's
all part of being a draft dodger's son. Dad insists that moving back to
Minnesota will be good for both of them. How could Dad know what Red Cedar
was like now? He hadn't been there since he left home to avoid the draft
during the Vietnam War. Dad's parents had turned their backs on him and
never saw him again. Now Border, named after the Canadian border that kept
Dad out of the war, is paying the price for his father's decision. Everywhere
he goes, he's known as the draft dodger's son. Now to top it off, the U.S.
has gone to war in the Persian Gulf. Can Border ever survive in this small
Minnesota town? |
