This book is about a family leaving the only life they have ever known, (Farming), to learn what the outside world has in store for them. Joseph (Joe), who knows everything there is to know about farming and farm life, is a restless individual who resisted being treated as though he was living in the days of slavery. When one land-owner kicked in the door of his house in the early hours of a cold winter morning before sun-up yelling for everyone to get to work out in the field, that was all he would take. He left, leaving everything and everyone including his beloved family, and hitch-hiked his way up north. He would return, but only to get what belonged to him… His Family .
