Barefoot on the Grass

A strange friendship has arisen between the angular thirteen-year-old Josie and the reclusive eighteen-year-old Samuel. She teaches him literature and music. He protects her. Both feel they have found a kindred spirit. But both are growing up, and inevitably their... paths diverge. Left behind are first love, the bitterness of loss, dreams that are never destined to come true. Samuel and Josie meet again almost ten years later. Their meeting brings a sense of lightness and hope. It recalls the carefree way children run barefoot on the grass. Both long to live, befriend, and love as they did the first time... This is a story about what connects a person to their home and family. This is a story about love that gives us wings.
