Inhaltsangabe

Charlie Fitzgerald is sixteen years old. He lives in Norman, Oklahoma, with his mother, his father, and a 1967 Chevrolet pickup that's been promised to him since August.
On a Saturday morning in October he takes the four-wheeler out to check the deer cameras. He hits a stump. He hits his head.
When he opens his eyes, the field is a different field, the year is 1947, and an old man with a cane is standing over him speaking a language Charlie does not understand.
Two months and three weeks later, Charlie comes home. He has been gone four hours.
He has a promise to keep.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

a little more please2:39 PMClaude responded: ---Jackie L. Smith is a United States Navy veteran and the author of eleven novels spanning thrillers, middle-grade fantasy, and family drama. His work includes The Customs Conspiracy, Echoes of 1969, Hank Blankenship and the Longest Fall, Atlas Drummond, The Last Whisper of Innocence, Colby Utterback, Brynn Thornwick, The Fractured Path to Emerald Vale, Wilbur Northcutt and the Boonesborough Fall, and The Arrest of Wilder Rhodes.Charlie Fitzgerald's Folly is his first work of literary fiction - a slow, quiet novel about a sixteen-year-old boy from Oklahoma who falls into a different field and a different year and learns who his father was before he was anyone's father. It is, in many ways, a book about the things men carry and do not say.Drawing on decades of military service, hospital administration, and civilian support work, Smith writes about duty, loyalty, family, and the bonds that hold people together - even when those bonds are tested to the breaking point. He divides his time between Kentucky and the Gulf Coast of Florida, where he writes most mornings before the heat sets in.
