Bookroo's summary

On a Shaker farm in Vermont, a 13-year-old boy confronts the harsh realities of life and death. As he takes on adult responsibilities, he navigates the challenges of growing up with Yankee wit and wisdom. Will he find his place in a world that demands so much from him? This poignant tale captures the essence of a boyhood journey that resonates across generations.

From the publisher

“With plenty of Yankee common sense and dry wit, and some pathos as the boy at 13 takes on the duties of a man. For boys of this age and for the young of any age.”– “School Library Journal.”
