Matt is in serious danger on the streets of Chicago after he makes a bad decision. His mom sends him away to Aunt LeeNell, but South Texas is the last place Matt wants to be for the summer. He has to survive the local toughs while he somehow finds a way to get back home. Things begin to look up when he meets Maria. That only leads to more trouble, as her brothers despise Anglos. Matt does his best to dodge trouble and get to know Maria. He meets an eccentric beekeeper, who lives out in the mesquite brush, and gets his first job helping out the old man. Matt is about to learn far more about life than he imagines in a summer that changes him forever. |

Those who
deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under
a just God, cannot long retain it. - Abraham Lincoln

Those
who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men
who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without
thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar
of its many waters. - Frederick
Douglass

Freedom is
a possession of inestimable value. - Cicero
