Steal a person's story and they risk being robbed of their sense of identity and worth. Josh was invited to join in the recovery of one of the largest thefts of people's stories in recent history. This put him in direct confrontation with sinister forces who did everything they could to thwart him, yet thousands were at risk of not knowing truly who they were, why they were here, or where they were going if Josh, his grandfather, and his friends didn't succeed. This invitation created conflict with his parents and friends who feared he was delusional. This fast-moving chronicle roams from the first century to the twenty-first, from the trenches of World War I to the battle fields of a modern high school. It plunges the depths of the human hunger for connection and rises to the heights of cosmic mysteries, for beneath it all is the trustworthy love that connects us all in the Grand Story. The story begins with an "accidental" fall into an ancient water trough.
