He also reveals a secret project that has to do with the kids presenting untold history to the public. In the letters, Amos describes his relationship with Ben, how it ends, and how Ben refuses to speak to him. The narrative goes back and forth between Amos’s first-person narration of the present and letters he wrote the previous year to a (deceased) Civil War trans man named Albert D. The three kids discover an interest in people written out of history, like those who were LGBTQ+, or Black like Chloe. When a boy named Ben starts volunteering, Amos develops a crush, but Ben is ambivalent about whether or not he’s gay. Amos enjoys his work there as an interpreter, working with his best friend Chloe.
Summary: Amos Abernathy loves history, and it’s a good thing because his mother runs the Chickaree County (Illinois) Living History Project.
