South by the Moon

By Richard Lannon

Ever wonder what a character like Huckleberry Finn might have been like a hundred years later in history? This novel will answer that question.By the age of 15 Scruffy McCormick had become a street rat extraordinaire. His father was a drunkard, meaning his mother had to struggle just to properly provide for her young son. So Scruffy learned how to navigate life-how to survive even when others believed he never would. His natural leadership ability attracted others to him, and the gang he assembled had many mischievous adventures until the day came when he discovered that others recognized what he could truly give. Through their gentle encouragement, the noble life that had always been within him began to blossom, leading him to see what it is that really matters in life. His life became a model for others even as he continued to doubt his own value or ability to offer anything worthwhile to anyone. The greatest surprise came when he discovered for himself the inherent value he had as a person and the priceless gifts he could give to others.
