Kindred Souls

Jakes grandfather, Billy, hears the talk of birds, is eighty-eight years old, and is going to live forever. Jake and Billy love taking walks around the family farm, and every day, Billy tells Jake just how much he misses his old sod house, where he lived before the wooden farmhouse was built. Billy asks Jake to build him a little sod house, but Jake is reluctant, for reasons even he doesnt quite understand. But then Billy gets sick. If Jake builds Billys beloved sod house, maybe Billy will come home from the hospital and everything will go on always. Can Jake do this one special thing for his kindred soul? From beloved author Patricia MacLachlan comes a poignant story about what we do for the ones we love, and how the bonds that hold us together also allow us to let each other go.
