When a curious nine-year old finds himself swallowed up in a rushing river, will the whispers he hears in his heart and mind help him survive? Arizona, 1938. Teddy loves the Fourth of July the way other kids love Christmas, but he’s tired of being treated like a little kid. Now that he’s nine years old, this middle child yearns for time to himself—time to do the things he likes to do. Things his brothers couldn’t care less about. During his family’s Fourth of July picnic at the Salt River, he slips away unnoticed, to wander and explore the glory of the Sonoran desert. Everything feels magical. . . right up until he realizes that he’s lost. Sizzling under the scorching summer sun, he’s desperate to cool off in the river, but he remembers the rule. . .No swimming in the river without an adult. He’d promised to keep the rule. . .and he knows promises shouldn’t be broken. In a sweaty panic, Teddy hatches a plan that doesn’t break the rule, but “bends” it a bit. When he accidentally plunges into the river, and is literally “in over his head,” Teddy couldn’t see a way out. Will he find his way back to his family, or will he be swept away?
