The Boy Who Loved Camping is the story of Tom see through two windows of time in a country once called Rhodesia: the 1950s when he is a pre-teen, and the 1970s when he is a young man. Tom holds a shocking secret, a secret only the more perceptive reader will uncover. It alienates him from his people and guides him towards unlikely redemption.
