A Winding Path to Flat Water

De: Rob Soles

Narrado por: Jonathan Waters

All families are different. This one just happens to be based on a little white lie.

Henry Soles’ winding path to Nebraska started with his kidnapping.

He was just a baby when he was taken from his parents.

Growing up among a roaming Midwest Native American tribe, Mama was the only mother figure he had ever known. And he had no reason to suspect that anything was wrong.

Until he became old enough to recognize that his White skin and the attention it drew meant he was different, somehow.

Eventually, Mama could lie to him no longer.

And everything Henry had known to be the truth was shattered in an instant.

Reeling from pain and confusion, and seeing no other reasonable option, the young man decided to head west.

In search of his roots and of the family he lost.

Little does he know, he’s about to learn the greatest lesson there is: that it’s not important where you come from, but rather, what you make of your life with what you have.
