Pre-Owned Jim Wrenn (Paperback) by William Guerrant

"Who wants a seven-year-old boy, or a four-year-old girl?" Danville, Va. Times-News, January 4, 1918

Seeing something of himself in a struggling teenage boy, an old man faces one final challenge--and an opportunity to bring closure to a secret past.

Spanning nearly nine decades, from the mountains of western Virginia, to a riverside mill town, to a farm in the Piedmont, this is the story of lives marked by tragedy, resilience, and, ultimately, the discovery of purpose and belonging.

Inspired by a true story.
