An unusual friendship between an Amish youth and teenager results in deep comradeship and changes the way some people look at others. Emotionally stirring and moving.

A most unlikely but extremely strong bond of friendship develops between two teenage boys of different ethnic backgrounds. Joshua, a young Amish boy of thirteen, forbidden to form friendships with "outsiders," has his life saved by Chris Waters after being critically injured by a wildly careening lumber truck. In turn, 'Muddy' - as Chris prefers to be called - is rescued by Joshua.
A powerful, inspiring demonstration of how true friendship - although forbidden - can overcome even religious bias and class discrimination. Joyous, exhilarating young adult experiences, top-filled with danger and action and crowned with the most unsuspected and unexpected discovery of all.
