"Sneaking around is like telling a lie, Buford, and lying is never good. It could put you in danger. Someday, it could even get you killed."

He wants to grow to be a large ram like his father, and he tries to prove he's afraid of nothing. Granny scolds Buford for sneaking away in the night and disobeying his parents, but she always waits for him to return. She also warns him about the dangers that lurk in the darkness beyond the protection of the shepherds. Buford doesn't listen though. One night, all Granny's warnings prove to be true, and Buford's life is changed forever. What will happen to Buford? Is this story just make--believe or could Buford be the lamb we see in the manger scenes at Christmastime? Read this book to find out who Buford really is.

This is a true story about a magical day in the author's neighborhood in 1946, when, as one of the little boys this story is about, he learned something that changed his life forever. Billy Bob, TC, Double M and others were the best friends of his childhood, and those decades were a different time, when children could run loose, and did. When they played with pocket knives and shot each other with rubber-guns and BB-guns and used inappropriate language when their parents couldn't hear. And when they learned unexpected lessons in unexpected places. There are some parents who will be unhappy because the children in this story use language adults might wish they did not ... though all children no doubt do so, when their parents are not around.

But the lesson itself is a universal one. Maybe it is for our children. Or maybe it's for us. Things ain't always the way they appear to be.
