Just Eric – 5.0 out of 5 stars – Simple in Writing but WHAT A GREAT TALE OF LOVE AND COMPASSION!
“Buck & the Boy” by Marco McDewey was delightful and endearing. The title is slightly misleading until you read the book. Then it makes sense. Imagine a Christian family, the youngest boy, Dustin, being raised in a loving home. He has no ill-will toward anyone and encounters a stray dog that he later befriends. His life changes upon this encounter and makes a bond that changes forever for two boys.
This story was a lesson to be learned, whether Christian or not, it delves into the kindness of humanity instead of the ugly, seedy side of life. Without spoilers, Dustin makes a new friend and things for Chris are not good at home. Dustin then must make a decision that will change his life forever.
A tale told from the perspective of a 13-year-old boy and lovingly so. I felt the magic slowly grow as I read each word and the ending made me sad yet pleased with the outcome. If you love clean, well-written, and believable characters then this story is for you. Bring some tissues because there are some moments that you will need them.
A Note From The Author
I wrote Buck & the Boy for my father six years ago. His name was Gilbert but he went by Buck. In the story I made my father this old dog. He passed this year in February, so I took the book and had it edited and published to honor him and my mother. The cover was my design as I wanted it black and white simple but elegant. My father did get to read the story before he passed and loved it. I hope you love it, too.
