Charlie's Crossing — Mike Catalano

The author wrote Charlie's Crossing: The Journey Begins in 2010 for his daughters so they could live life by the grace God has bestowed upon His children. It was after finishing the book that the author realized it could be an example to all ages and decided to introduce the book to the world. Having grown up in the Swiss Alps, Charlie went on several camping trips with his father at the age of twelve. These were not ordinary camping trips, however, as they allowed Nedwell to teach Charlie about life. Eventually, after Charlie's father passes away, he is left as the man of the house, growing up fast. Seeking answers about his father, Charlie returns to the camping area, where the animals lead Charlie on an adventure to The Wise Turtle. The ending throws a twist into the lessons as Charlie learns that all the information he consumed was already in his mind...or was it?
