Boone
Boone is not just a book. It is an experience.
Each chapter includes a link to an animated and narrated version of the story, allowing readers to engage with the novel through text, voice, and cinematic imagery as the journey unfolds.
Set in rural Georgia in 1902, Boone follows the Macree family as they struggle through tragedy and injustice.
A pastor driven by ambition tightens his influence over the community. A father, hollowed by loss, is pulled toward revenge. And a boy stumbles upon a secret powerful enough to change everything. As lines between righteousness and cruelty blur, the family is faced with a defining will striking back restore their dignity, or destroy what is left of them?
As events move toward an unavoidable reckoning, help arrives from the last place anyone expects. Boone, a bloodhound moves quietly through the story. As the people around him give in to impulse, power, and revenge, Boone remains steady, guiding them back toward the humanity they seem to have misplaced.
Written as a novel in verse, Boone tells an unforgettable story through spare, cinematic language. It is a coming-of-age story grounded in historical fiction, rich in plot, real consequences, and gripping moral tension.
Here's what other authors are saying about Boone:
If William Shakespeare and Mark Twain teamed up to write a
book, it would fall short of Boone.
—Theresa Dawn Sinclair, author of Children of Hamelin and The Eternal Questions
Approaching those great American classics like Little Women
and Anne of Green Gables, Boone finally gives the star‑spangled
canon a long‑needed additional star to light up the 21stcentury’s
night. Author Michael Pietrack achieves this by drawing on the
rich tradition of America’s greatest poets, Frost, Longfellow, and
Poe in his use of enchanting rhyme and meter. His tale weaves a
rich and fun cultural experience by employing a wit more delightfully
Dickens than Twain. This is a literary achievement for all
ages to enjoy.
—Evan Mantyk, President of The Society of Classical Poets
Wonderfully evocative—timeless storytelling, and for fans of formal
poetry, Boone is a novel like no other.
—James Sale, feature writer for The Epoch Times
Boone stands in the lineage of American moral novels. It is akin
to Huckleberry Finn for its sense of boyhood and freedom. In its
compassion and courage, there are tinges of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Yet it does what few modern works it restores the discipline
of classical poetry to the storyteller’s soil. It is traditional and
new all at once, an heir to Longfellow’s cadence with the moral
clarity of Steinbeck.
—Andrew Benson Brown, author of Legends of Liberty series
Boone harks back to an era when stories burned with imagination
and spoke straight to the heart—when truth, love, and the enduring
bonds of family and friendship steered souls through life’s
fiercest storms. At its center stands Boone, a steadfast companion
whose quiet loyalty brings comfort, healing, and hope. Around him
unfolds a world of unforgettable characters. Lyrical and timeless,
Boone is storytelling at its purest—alive with music, meaning,
and the eternal struggle between darkness and light.
