Overview

In the North Carolina mountains of 1830, ten-year-old Ayonwa knows every bend of the creek, every curve of the forest paths, and every lesson his people have passed down for generations. When Ayonwa befriends Tom, a boy from a newly arrived settler family, the two discover they have more in common than they expected. But as outsiders move closer and questions turn into demands, Ayonwa faces a choice that friendship alone cannot solve. Some knowledge cannot be shared. Some paths are not meant for every foot. As tensions rise, Ayonwa must decide what loyalty really means and how to protect who he is, even when the cost is high. Set against the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, Paths That Do Not Meet is a powerful middle-grade historical novel about boundaries, identity, and the courage it takes to walk your own path when the world presses close. Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful historical fiction, stories of friendship, and books that ask big questions in quiet, meaningful ways.
