Travis' Ladder

Travis, a twelve year old, views his life's challenges as climbing a ladder--just as his grandfather told him. He is helped in his ascent by his grandfather, folks with whom he lives, and his coach. He finds his first "e;love"e; and is rejected; he finds his strength, true friends, but almost slips off his ladder. He meets a man with a transplanted heart who helps him appreciate the goodness of life.
