Mississippi, the late 1950s. On his eleventh birthday, Jory Sheppard runs away from everything he’s ever known. With his father gone and an uncertain future in foster care ahead, Jory sets off down the Mississippi River—only to be caught in a dangerous storm. Just when it seems all hope is lost, he’s rescued by an old African American man named Moses.
Taken in by Moses and his family, Jory finds himself in a world unlike the one he left behind. Surrounded by kindness, love, and unfamiliar traditions, Jory begins to grow—but so does his awareness of the injustice around him. In a town divided by race and fear, Jory must decide who he wants to be and what he’s willing to stand for.
My Water Path is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about courage, compassion, and choosing what’s right—even when it’s hard. Perfect for readers ages 10 and up, and for fans of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Holes, and Bridge to Terabithia.

About the Author
His debut novel, Four-Fifths, was published in 2000, for which he won the Word Weaver Award of Excellence. His second book, Reflections On Love, was published in 2002, and Four-Fifths Endowed, (sequel to Four-Fifths) was published in 2005. In 2009 his nonfiction coffee-table book, Historical Photos of the Manhattan Project, was published by Turner Publishing.
Tim received a Technical Communication Award of Excellence, and his literary writing was recognized by the Tennessee Arts Commission. His goal is to use his literary voice and style to bring to the page the intense emotions of life, especially love, happiness, and passion.
His newest work, My Water Path, (Pants On Fire Press-Publisher), was built upon Tim's youth in the south where he grew up surrounded by prejudice and bigotry. Even as a child he could not comprehend racial disdain. This story is a testament to his love of humanity and belief in the equality of all. Tim and his wife Marsha live in Rockwood, TN. Please visit his site to see his other works including his many essays. (www.timothyjoseph.net)
