In 1957, thirteen-year-old Ollie wants a friend, but her father's a traveling preacher so they never stay in the same town for long. In Arkansas Ollie meets Jimmy, who needs her help: his mother confessed to murdering her husband, but Jimmy claims she's innocent. The murder mystery is compelling, and sweet, frog-loving Jimmy is a boy any girl would want to save.
