Based upon the critically-acclaimed book by two-time Newbery award-winning writer Lois Lowry, ArtsPower’s dramatic adaptation examines the special friendship of a young girl, Katy, with an autistic boy, Jacob, a misunderstood outcast in an early 1900’s rural Pennsylvania farming community. When events take an unexpected and tragic turn, and Jacob is expected to be the cause, it is Katy alone who is determined to unravel the convoluted mystery of what happened and why.
