Just David

Summary

When a newly orphaned boy with a violin shows up in a small town, his unnique perspective transforms everyone.

When David comes on the scene, The Holly family, and much of the town, have done things for so long they don't even realize they are in a rut. David's innocence and naivete bring with it his own set of assumptions, opinions, and expectations. Because of the care his father had taken to keep him from the 'bad' – or painful – things in life, there is so much he can't even begin to fathom at first. The collision of these two worlds is what drives this story onward. David had never experienced poverty or wealth as most would think of it.

Join David as he discovers the world.
