When eleven year old Louise steps into a bread line in the middle of a dusty Texas town during The Great Depression, the last thing she expects to find is a filthy hobo-boy taking pity on her. Fourteen year old Cliff gives her his last piece of change, a worthless wooden nickel. In the school yard, Cliff boasts of his adventurous hobo existence, traveling from town to town in search of work. Louise offers the old barn at the back of her parents' property as a hideout for Cliff and his brother, Hank. The years slide by as Cliff learns the art of reporting, studying under Louise's father, a well known Southern newspaper man. Puppy love blossoms into real love as Cliff falls head over heels with his boss's daughter. War begins brewing three thousand miles away and Cliff is sent to bring home the news. Will first love survive war, the Holocaust and years of separation? The Depression era coin proves to be worth far more than the five cents etched beside the wooden buffalo as it becomes a symbol of faith, hope and love, weaving in and out of their lives time and time again. The Wooden Nickel is an emotionally gripping tale about a bond between two young lovers trying to find their way in the world. An intense drama, unfolding amid the backdrop of war torn Europe and a naive America, desperately in need of new hope, The Wooden Nickel is an unforgettable romance full of mesmerizing characters, deep longing and eternal hope.
