I will say right up front, as others have before me, that whoever wrote the synopsis for this book didn't read the whole book. The synopsis is only for the like the last third of the book.Orlando "Lando" Sackett has grown up on his own since he was twelve years old.

This has been my least favorite story about the Sackett family; everything interesting happens before the start of this book and the attempt to work in
