Synopsis

Mississippi, the late 1950s. On his eleventh birthday, Jory Sheppard runs away from everything he’s ever known. With his father gone and an uncertain future in foster care ahead, Jory sets off down the Mississippi River—only to be caught in a dangerous storm. Just when it seems all hope is lost, he’s rescued by an old African American man named Moses.

Taken in by Moses and his family, Jory finds himself in a world unlike the one he left behind. Surrounded by kindness, love, and unfamiliar traditions, Jory begins to grow—but so does his awareness of the injustice around him. In a town divided by race and fear, Jory must decide who he wants to be and what he’s willing to stand for.

My Water Path is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about courage, compassion, and choosing what’s right—even when it’s hard. Perfect for readers ages 10 and up, and for fans of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Holes, and Bridge to Terabithia.
