Rust Bucket

After his dad died, John David—J.D.—took to the old pick up, Rust Bucket, as lovingly as he could, as the one object that his fondest memories of his father would remain forever. Apart from Rust Bucket, though, the young J.D. passed through life with mixed feelings about his mom, his stepfather, Danny, and his other relatives. The Jefferies, on the other hand, are a constant inspiration to him, as well as his best friend, Rocky. A poignant story about growing up, Rust Bucket by Rosey Sommerfeld weaves a touching story of a child’s rite of passage to the momentous realizations of his life, of moving on after the death of a loved one.
