Under The Boat Ramp Sky

By: Boswell, J. D.

Under the Boat Ramp Sky is a deeply moving, vividly nostalgic coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a boy named Bossy, whose childhood unfolds between laughter, hardship, and unbreakable family bonds.

The story begins in the heart of rural America, where five kids grow up chasing freedom under wide open skies and by the glimmering waters of a country lake. Through summers of red bicycles and dusty backroads, winters of snow forts and frozen fields, and long days of mischief and discovery, the siblings learn what it means to belong, to dream, and to endure.

But time brings change - and with it, the slow unraveling of innocence. As Bossy grows, he begins to see the cracks in his family's world: a father's struggles, a mother's exhaustion, brothers pulled astray by poor choices, and the heavy weight of being the one who must hold it all together. Amid the chaos, he clings to memories of the lake - that shimmering place of laughter, adventure, and peace - a symbol of everything good that once was.

Through heartbreak and healing, Bossy becomes the family's steady anchor, guiding his younger siblings through life's storms and learning hard lessons about love, loss, and forgiveness. Years later, as an adult watching his own children play, he reflects on the journey that shaped him - from the days of wild imagination and fearless wonder, to the solemn understanding that life moves on, yet the heart always remembers.

Under the Boat Ramp Sky is a tender, powerful reflection on childhood, resilience, and the enduring strength of family. It's a story about finding beauty in brokenness, hope in memory, and peace in knowing that no matter how far life takes us - the anchor still holds.
