The ghostwalker file

the long version

"A contemporary novel about a baby boy abandoned near the Miccosukee Reservation in the Florida Everglades west of Miami. The surrounding community of Native American neighbors adopt and raise the young "John Doe" as their own, and when they realize that John has the ability to come and go with such stealth that his communal family members seldom notice, he is given the surname "Ghostwalker." John Ghostwalker is a kind-hearted and precocious young man, a superior student, and a socially peculiar human being. He has an almost obsessive need for a secret sanctuary where he can find respite from a world he sometimes finds quite overwhelming as he follows his dream to become an accomplished architect. The Ghostwalker File is, first and foremost, a book about self-discovery and the importance of community, but it is also a love story that may restore your belief in soul-mates."--From publisher description.
