What would you do with another chance at life? For Dr. David Hallows, a psychologist with a troubled past, that opportunity lies on Car 4488, departing from downtown Manhattan. Relocated, age 14, to the shores of South Manistique Lake in 1969, David finds himself employed as a camp counsellor, along with a motley collection of fellow teens. In addition, David is joined by another passenger from the train, an angry and confused girl named Parker. Neither David nor Parker knows why they've been sent to Camp Manistique. The answer may lie with a bullied, grieving child called "Porkchop." David and Parker's South Manistique Summer is a poignant tale of grief, courage, redemption, and unexpected laughter.
