In the golden heat of a 1950s Texas summer, eleven-year-old Turner finds his world turned upside down. Torn from the only home he's ever known, Turner is uprooted and thrust into a dusty new town in South Texas, where everything-from the soil to the silence-feels foreign. His father's new job as an insurance adjuster keeps him away for days on end, and his mother, though loving, is stretched thin. Turner is lonely, uncertain, and quietly grieving the life he left behind. But there is one soul who anchors him in this new world: Hub.

In the golden heat of a 1950s Texas summer, eleven-year-old Turner finds his world turned upside down. Torn from the only home he's ever known, Turner is uprooted and thrust into a dusty new town in South Texas, where everything-from the soil to the silence-feels foreign. His father's new job as an insurance adjuster keeps him away for days on end, and his mother, though loving, is stretched thin. Turner is lonely, uncertain, and quietly grieving the life he left behind.
But there is one soul who anchors him in this new world: Hub.
Hub is Turner's grandfather-grizzled, full of grit, and brimming with wisdom earned from a life of hardship and triumph. A man who seems stitched from the very fabric of the Texas wilds, Hub is equal parts storyteller, philosopher, and outdoorsman. He teaches Turner how to fish in spring-fed creeks, how to bird hunt with quiet patience, and how to read the stories carved into the tombstones found in an old family pecan grove graveyard. But more than that, Hub teaches Turner about family, about resilience, and about the kind of love that outlasts time itself.
Through long, sun-drenched days spent casting lines into clear waters and sharing stories around duck ponds that reflect the predawn stars, Turner and Hub forge a bond that shapes the boy into something more than just a boy. Turner becomes a listener. A seeker. A believer in the quiet strength of those who came before.
It's during one of these hunting twilight talks that Turner learns a secret-one whispered between ducks splashing among the decoys and half-smiles steeped in memory. Long ago, during sickness and loss, when time scattered people to the wind, Hub had fallen in love. Deeply, madly, unforgettably. Her name was Catherine, and though fate pulled them apart, he never stopped loving her. He never stopped wondering what became of her.
That single revelation lodges in Turner's heart like a spark in dry tinder. As the summer wanes and his world grows more complicated, Turner makes a decision that will change everything: he will set out on a secret journey-alone across Texas-to find Catherine. To bring her back to Hub. To give his grandfather the reunion that life had denied him.
Armed with little more than a dog-eared map, a sack lunch, and the unshakable faith of a child, Turner disappears one morning before dawn. What follows is an odyssey filled with unexpected kindness and sharp dangers. From homeless nights and forgotten country towns to a one-eyed traveler and train yards echoing with distant whistles, Turner must navigate not only the Texas landscape but the treacherous terrain of growing up.
