The Leaky Raft: A Village Raises a Child is a true story about a village; a time and place where the story of being human is unfolded before our very eyes in the lives of two boys, James and David. It's a larger story of how a community (a village), an idyllic but real place in history through its many characters and events, shaped the lives of these two boys.
The Leaky Raft is a symbol of what holds us together so we don't sink. The raft will always leak; representing the growing pains, the insecurities, and the innocence of childhood, while the solid cedar rails, any old plank, or even an old door held together with fence wire, represents the community, the support and care of the child. Each story recounts how the love and caring by the village, somehow metaphorically, will patch a hole in the raft. Will the leaky raft be free from leaks?
Hop on the many rafts that were built and see. Join these two boys, James and David, and a cadre of many friends on a tumultuous, scandalous, mischievous, and dare-devilish journey.
Hop on--it's going to be quite a journey.
