Summary
Nothing is Ever What it Seems!
Beyond The Pond takes the young reader on a journey back in time from the Indian Legend of the Cedar tree, to the almost near tragedy that changed Cathryn Price's life forever. Today, Cathryn's great granddaughter, Linda, and her nine year old son, Brady, live in Cathryn's old Victorian home. Brady struggles with changes in his life and finds bringing back his great grandmother's old pond helps to distract him from his own personal tragedies.
But, things have changed with this pond.
What Bradley doesn't know is that the pond and Cedar are in danger due to night prowlers and a Texas drought. The answer is for Olivia, a new fish, to leave the pond in search of a hidden spring and its inhabitants to save the legendary Cedar. And so, a new journey begins deep beneath the earth through an ancient passageway. Olivia's adventure not only encounters danger, but she discovers a secret kept safe by Brady's grandmother for over 50 years.
Brady learns to cope with embarrassment and defeat, and finds that God has a plan for him after all. Beyond The Pond presents an interesting collection of characters, including one who has been around since The Beginning. The gospel message is explained in a simple truth between the most unlikely couple. (From the author.)
