Seminole Summer is the eagerly awaited sequel to Judith Richards's international best-seller Summer Lightning. Redheaded, freckle-faced Terry Calder has returned to the swamps of the Everglades where he lives in a migratory work camp with his mother and younger sister. While his father investigates atrocities in World War II Poland, ten-year-old Terry fills the role of the man of the family. Along the way, Terry becomes the legs for a wounded veteran, the conscience for an angry Indian boy, and the mind for a gentle friend who accidentally brings tragedy to them all.

A novel about triumph in the midst of adversity, Seminole Summer tells the story of a family tested yet emerging all the stronger.
