Twelve year old Luke and his little sister are living a happy life with their widowed father in southern California. But their lives change when their dad loses his job and hits the road to find work leaving them in the care of their flighty aunt.

Set in the time between the quiet 1950s and the tumultuous 1960s the tale of the children's journey alternates with flash-forwards from ten years later that expose the reader to what became of everyone, some bittersweet, some tragic and some happy.
Mensch is a compelling tale of two brave children and their adventures that is sure to capture your hearts.
