Publisher Comments:
The sixth in a series of historical novels for children, Danny and Life on Bluff Point: The Conflict finds the Lee family engaged in a social conflict that will test their values. It is May 1895, and the Lee children greet the spring weather with jubilation. It's a time for picking wildflowers, awaiting the births of baby farm animals, and helping Pa and Ma with the chores. But this idealistic world is about to change. While riding his horse one day, ten-year-old Danny Lee meets their new neighbor from Virginia, Robert Overhouser, never knowing how much this one man will change his life. Even though the Civil War happened thirty years ago, some members of the very Yankee community of Bluff Point, New York, are not too happy about welcoming a Southerner into their midst. The friction Between Mr. Overhouser and the rest of the town spills over to the Lee children, and Danny and his siblings soon find themselves coming to the defense of the Overhouser family in school. But throughout the conflict between the town and the family, both sides learn valuable lessons about prejudice, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Dr. Tami Brady, April 19, 2008 (view all comments by Dr. Tami Brady)
In Danny and Life on Bluff Point: The Conflict, conflict and change are definitely the key words. Life at Bluff Point has always been fairly peaceful. The people are normally friendly. Danny has lots of friends and family around. Everyone feels like part of the community.
Unfortunately, even in Bluff Point, times are changing. Danny is getting older and he’s able to do a lot more on the farm. He has a lot more responsibility now. His oldest sister Ruthie is preparing to go to high school this fall so she’ll be living in town during the week. Soon enough, Danny will have to make the same decision.
It’s been 30 years since the Civil War but in this installment Danny finds out that not everyone has let those old feelings settle. A man by the name of Mr. Overhouser has moved into the community from the South. Without even getting to know the man, people immediately start taking sides about if he should be welcomed or not. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy and sometimes it takes something really bad before people stop and think about what they are doing.
