f years old ... I decided to take a walk by myself." Thus a precocious (and peculiarly mishap-prone) little boy, known to his loved ones as Freckles, raises an alert at home and around the neighborhood that will persist for years as he embarks on a lifetime journey of hijinks, hard-won lessons, and love.

Tag along with him to laugh and learn while faithful and well-meaning Freckles, along with his canine companion Buster and in league with siblings and friends, grapples with bees and axe blades, tomatoes and toy sirens, the forces of nature and his own mischievous impulses. Discover how many jams one boy can get himself into and be rescued from by loved ones and God's grace.

As Freckles the boy grows up (but not too much!) into Dr. Guild, the man, husband, father, and medical missionary, find out along with him about God's great wisdom, His many gifts to His children, the blessings of following His ways, and His unwavering compassion for the Freckles in all of us, as He seeks to guide us through the ups and downs of life toward the mountaintop of eternal life.
