A heartbreaking story, narrated by twelve-year-old Jack, whose family is caring for fourteen-year-old Joseph. Joseph is misunderstood. He was incarcerated for trying to kill a teacher. Or so the rumours say. But Jack and his family see something others in town don’t want to.
What's more, Joseph has a daughter he’s never seen. The two boys go on a journey through the bitter Maine winter to help Joseph find his baby — no matter the cost.

    That was how Joseph heard for the first time he was now a father.
    He looked at the forms. The baby was a girl. Her name was Jupiter Joyce.
    Joseph wept.

      Because he loved her.
      He loved her.
      He had never known love before.
      He had never known how much it could fill him.

        Joseph told us everything.
        Everything.

        And the wild story of Jack and Joseph begins here!
