Plot

Another triumph for Paterson, "Jip" tells a "historically accurate story (that's) full of revelations and surprises" ("Publisher's Weekly"). An abandoned boy turns to his only friend to help him make sense of his past, after a menacing stranger comes to town claiming to have been sent by his father.
