I pounded myself against the inside of his head, but it was useless. He couldn't hear me; I was trapped. So, like any other prisoner, I waited. I bided my time. Luke is six. He is a lonely child, but he has one friend, his best friend -- Daniel -- whom he met in the playground on the day his parents finalised their divorce. Only Luke can see Daniel. They play games together, and Daniel watches over Luke; he is there when he first wakes up and there when he goes to sleep. Daniel's first memory is of Luke calling his name in the playground. Daniel is not an ordinary child. Luke's mother spends more and more time in her room, haunted by family memories. She takes Luke and Daniel from New York to a deserted beach town, as winter sets in. Daniel is changing. He feels faint, weightless. Luke seems forgetful of him. Time passes. Luke and Daniel have not seen one another for a long time. Until, one night, Daniel suddenly finds himself standing in Luke's bedroom, woken by the sound of breaking glass. He does not know how much time he has; but he knows how he can be saved.

"Douglas County, established in 1861, is one of Colorado's original counties. Mining, agriculture, sawmills, and railroads contributed to the growth of this territory, which includes two state parks and dozens of landmarked properties. Over 46 percent of the county's land is public or protected. While retail is now the largest industry in the area, this book will highlight some of the working ranches, original structures, and open spaces that will remain thanks to cultural and historical stewardship. Jean Jacobsen and Susan Rocco-McKeel are members of Castle Rock Writers and coauthors of Chronicles of Douglas County, Colorado."--

The age of “hard copy” documents and books is almost a thing of the past. A few die-hards, such as myself, still cherish holding a book in their hands. This book is one that you can carry with you as you walk the streets of a Castle Rock that is nearly forgotten. It is an attempt to look back and capture some of the magic that helped create Castle Rock, Colorado. I hope I have provided some interesting images and text on the history and a little of the architecture of this fascinating community.
