Wading through the Rubicon

By Jody Doll

Michael was twelve when he lost his mother to a tragic accident, and it nearly broke him. His last summer before high school was supposed to be an opportunity to move past his grief and embrace a life yet lived. Imagine his surprise when he awoke lost and alone somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains with no memory of how he got there. So begins his journey of discovery, leading him to the landmark of a once-thriving mining community, an orphanage whose historic walls house dark secrets and lost children led by a raven-haired girl with a hidden past.

Their diverging paths will take them on an adventure through the most challenging years of their young lives, testing their faith, love, and friendships. Forged in circumstance, bound by survival, an unconventional family united in a common cause; theirs is a path less traveled and the only one that can lead them home.

Wading through the Rubicon is a coming-of-age, character-filled story of friendship, adventure, and heartbreak that suggests no matter the age - choice and the consequences of every action or inaction are indiscriminate. At its core is a love story exploring the challenges of teenage life, the imperfections and broken pieces that make us stronger, and the enduring friendships that lend us the confidence and courage to carry on.
