Sinossi

Set against the American frontier during westward expansion, The Crossing follows young Davy Trimble and his father, Alec, as they try to make sense of life in the Appalachian wilderness. Growing up in a rustic cabin under the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina, Davy is shaped by both the beauty and danger of the natural world and by his father’s quiet, enigmatic presence. As his childhood unfolds, a significant meeting with the frontiersman Daniel Boone sparks in Davy a growing desire to explore what lies beyond the mountains. News of distant wars and unrest reaches their isolated home, blending Davy’s coming-of-age with the tensions and uncertainty of a changing America.
