O knihe
THE HIGHEST HILL is the story of two young brothers, Bobby and Jackie Ringo, struggling to overcome the hardships of rural western Kentucky in the '40s and '50s. Their lives and futures are fraught with pitfalls and roadblocks, both debilitating and deadly. The reader will feel the dreams, aspirations and wonder of the youngest whilst living and growing up in very different time than our own.
The boys cope with a drinking and abusive father, barely avoiding reform school, struggle to stay in school and overcome their circumstance and elevate themselves and their family.
The brothers reach higher and higher to achieve a better life. Follow them through the early 1950s, starting at ages' nine and twelve, through their high school years to a dramatic climax of personal and physical struggle with the ""Ringo Streak"" and its repercussions. If they survive, it'll be to eventually realize the true lessons of the Highest Hill which continues to reveal its real measure and meaning.
