Synopsis
After tragedy shatters his world, a teenage boy uncovers a secret buried deep within his family's past-one that could rewrite automotive history.
When 18-year-old Robby and his mother relocate from Las Vegas to a quiet Oregon farm following his father's sudden death, resentment and grief weigh heavily on his shoulders. Struggling to adjust to rural life under the roof of his gruff grandfather, Robby finds an unexpected spark of hope in Elena, a local girl who shares his curiosity and heart.
Everything changes when Robby uncovers a dusty old dirt bike and a 1957 Ford pickup, relics of the father he barely knew but greatly misses. With his grandfather's reluctant blessing, he throws himself into restoring the truck, finding solace in every bolt turned and part polished.
But a hidden barn tucked deep in the woods holds something far greater: a mysterious car cloaked in dust and history, one with rumored ties to racing legends and Hollywood lore. As the truth surfaces, so do long-buried secrets, triggering emotional upheaval and drawing unwanted attention from the outside world.
When the discovery becomes a viral sensation, the pressure takes a devastating toll on Robby's grandfather. In the aftermath, a hospital bedside confession forces Robby to confront the true weight of legacy, loss, and forgiveness.
The Barn Find is a poignant coming-of-age story filled with classic cars, hidden history, and emotional depth. It's about the healing power of purpose, the bonds between generations, and the timeless thrill of discovery, where the past isn't just remembered... it's restored.
The Barn Find is the first novel in the Barn Find Adventures(TM) series-a YA fiction series exploring legendary vehicles, forgotten truths, and the people brave enough to uncover both.
