Keoni always treasured his special relationship with his widowed neighbor, The Old Fisherman. Their times together fishing on the Ohio River always provided Keoni with a sense of God’s peace. Keoni’s wonderment and appreciation of the world around him, developed into a BIG question. He sought out many people for the answer. No one, not even his pastor, his mother, or friends could provide a true answer – until the day a violent storm forced Keoni and The Old Fisherman to run for shelter onshore.
Come along for this Christian based journey to discover God’s presence. The thought provoking storyline jumps from the pages with vibrant illustrations by Mary Manning.
