On the Banks of Holliday Creek

Set against the backdrop of the Truman Era, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of nine-year-old David Wright, whose family relocates to a rural farm after a tragedy. As they adapt to their new life, they form a bond with the Jones family and engage with the local one-room school led by the inspiring Miss Jordison. The story explores themes of personal liberty, social change, and the contrasts between rural and urban life, while reflecting on the societal shifts of the time, including the rise of technology and the Baby Boom generation.
