THE GREAT DIVIDE
The Great Divide was the 2017 SCBWI Summer Student Scholarship winner, a Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award nominee, and a Grand Valley State University Wendy J. Wenner Outstanding Liberal Studies Thesis award nominee.
Synopsis: If every soul is a river, then death is the Great Divide where those rivers change direction, and this is the story of those souls whose water has gone stagnant. The year is 1871 and the now-orphaned Lee Fong is on a mission to the United States to unearth his father’s bones and return them to their ancestral tomb in China. He joins forces with an American roughrider named Colt McGrath, and together they adventure across the Wild West to save his family.
The Great Divide is a dark and adventurous middle-grade novel that incorporates elements of the traditional Western novel, classic mystery stories, and magical realism based on traditional Chinese religion and superstition.
