Publisher's summary

At the end of Search for Yesterday, Kid mentions an uncle who he’s sure will be searching for him. That uncle is Deacon Wells, and this is his story.

When their father disappears and their mother dies, child siblings Rose and David Wells face the cruel streets of 1844 Buffalo, New York. Daring to dream beyond their wretched circumstance, they escape a brutal slave master, change their names to Deacon and Marie Hickman, and begin a new life on the shores of Lake Erie in the care and nurture of Ken and Lorna Hunsaker.

In this heartwarming, action-packed tale of trial and triumph, Deacon grows from boyhood into the beginnings of a remarkable man. Within his story, answers to some of the mysteries surrounding Kid from Search for Yesterday are also revealed.

Marie marries while still a teen and gives birth to a son, Cole, with whom Deacon forms a deep bond. Grow with Deacon through the ups and downs of adolescence, while at the same time learning Kid’s backstory, including how he learned to throw a hatchet and what went into making him the lovable boy we came to know in Search for Yesterday.

In time, Marie and her husband move their young family to Missouri, leaving Deacon to struggle against a world of growing turmoil. Sinister designs of a wealthy speculator by the name of Dan Calhoon suck Deacon into a torrent of lies, coercion, and murder, threatening his entire existence. With no law to intervene, Deacon is left with two options....

One option will brand him a killer.
