When he suspects the farmer may sell him to a stranger for labor, he hops a northbound train to escape his fate.

Through many adventures and harrowing experiences growing up on the farm, he confronts his lifelong feelings of inadequacies and doubts his beliefs. Then he meets Anne. Anne changes everything, and brings a new kind of feeling into his young teenage heart. She also dregs up old secrets and hidden feelings.
