In
this historical adventure, an African American boy faces prejudice
and other challenges in the years just after the Civil War. Nathan's
mother has died and he and his father have been driven out of their
home by the Ku Klux Klan. Nathan, his father and grandfather hope
for a better life when they move to Pea Island on the Outer Banks
of North Carolina. It's there that Nathan discovers --- and even
aids --- an African American crew of the U.S. Life-Saving Station,
a group that rescues sailors whose ships are sinking or in trouble.
Will Nathan be able to realize his dream of becoming one of these
brave and heroic surfmen?
