Clearing stones from a hilltop pasture on Peach Hill Farm, young Jack Hazard is caught in a thunder-squall and finds something hidden in a hollow log. Treasure-trove brings trouble rather than luck: a missing half-dollar, a deacon to be waited on, a squire who calls him a malefactor, and a hard test of whether Jack will tell the truth.
A sequel to Jack Hazard and His Fortunes, a sturdy New England story of honesty under pressure. Download the free EPUB.
