One day, though, ol' Rootilla Redgums and her grandson, Julius Jefferson, arrive. Rootilla teaches the citizens of Walkerton how to make all sorts of beautiful things, and the white people can't get enough. But some aren't so happy. When a hooded mob threatens to burn down the town, Julius and Rootilla must work wonders to protect Walkerton and its people--even if it means moving heaven and earth itself\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Barclay Moore\u003c\/b\u003e, an author and filmmaker, won a John Steptoe New Talent Author Award for his debut novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Stars Beneath Our Feet, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was optioned as a film by Michael B.
