Ross Benedict is a 9th grade teacher who breaks his
vow never to return to a small Arkansas town and the memories that live there.
He wants no reminders of the hurt and loss he experienced when he was a
troubled, scared teenager. But the inescapable pull of that long-ago time
draws him back to the home of his unlikely mentor, 75 year-old Luther Skipworth,
and Ross recalls a tumultuous, ultimately heartbreaking summer.
A unique work of fiction, The Skipworth Summer is inspired by
actual details from the real life of Luther Skipworth.
