Description

Before the accident Nathaniels life seemed pretty good. His help around the farm made his father proud. But now, with a busted leg, Nathaniel cant do farmwork anymore, so his father adopts another son through the Orphan Train. Feeling replaced and useless, Nathaniel attends school for the first time. Meanwhile, sturdy and strong John is able to do the work that earns Pas attention.

But the truth is, John Worth has his own set of troubles. He is treated more like a servant than a son. Kept awake at night by nightmares of his familys death, he remembers having a pa who took pride in him. But now he has no one, until a community battle and a special book reveal a potential friend and a chance for understanding.
