Martha Daniels worked hard on the sharecropper's farm, hating the hard work and dreamed of leaving. Wanting more from life, she found it after the town's local hotel hired her-she met Joe. After three short years, she returned to the farm she hated and bickering parents. Her husband's unforeseen accident on an oil rig changed their lives and that of their infant son, Johnny. Long Road Home's Little Boy Lost is a story of Johnny Daniels, a painfully-shy, poverty-stricken country boy. Johnny is emotionally and verbally abused and lied to by those he loves the most. As a confused, fearful, and lonely boy, he felt that something was always missing in his life. Leaving the only world he'd ever known gave Johnny an empty feeling. This nagging emptiness caused him to travel down many roads searching for what was missing, love, happiness-and home.

Interesting story. Takes me back to my early childhood at the same time frame. I'm not very good at writing reviews but I enjoyed reading this and have purchased the second in the series to read.You are taken back to the mid 1930's and learn what life was like for families who sharecropped land in order to have a place to live and food to eat. Picking cotton in the broiling Texas sun and doing other chores made a hard life but there were fun times running in pastures, fishing, and splashing in a nearby creek or river. It was not an easy life for a child who felt something was missing in his life.

Little Boy Lost - Vada M. Wolter and Joseph A. Zapalac
Little Boy Lost is a wonderfully crafted book set during the 1930s and 40s. Raised by his stern Czech grandparents on a share croppers farm, Johnny learns about hard work early. There are few bright spots in his isolated life - his mother, his dog, his Uncle Ethan and his friend Becky.
Each thing that brings joy is torn from him and he continues his solitary life. Despite all the negative aspects, he finds solace in his surroundings. All the joys of the country are his.
Little Boy Lost is a poignant account of Johnny's life - from birth to age twelve. We find him a sweet child. Lonely and alone, there is still a sparkle in him that won't be quenched.
I greatly enjoyed Little Boy Lost. It's a wonderful book, written from Johnny's perspective, viewing the world as he does. The characterizations of other characters is minimal. The focus is on Johnny and how he sees them and what they mean in his life.
I highly recommend this book. Though very like a memoir, it reads like a novel. I find it difficult to describe the true nature of this book, but I know to read it is to love it.

I happened to meet the co-author Joe Zapalac in our church parking lot. Joe can really spin a good yarn. I could tell because I didn't want to leave even after he told me about his need to tell good short stories and his own growing up experiences. That was an hour that flew by!!! He writes the way he talks - easy and laid back with a glint in his eye. You should also look for Lost Innocence (the first book) and others in the series. By the way he co-authored with Vada Wolter who was a photography lover. They came up with a pretty good story. You'll like the characters and the pace. God bless you.
