Description
"Some day I'm goin' to leave Piney Ridge. I'm goin' to work and make enough money somehow, some way or another, to get away. And I'm goin' to have a better life and see the world and get more learnin'."

This story of young Hod Pierce, who spends his boyhood dreaming of how to get away from the land, is a deeply touching portrait of a boy's journey to manhood. It is also the story of a love affair--with life, with the country he once turned from, and with Mary, the woman who brought him back to the land he never stopped loving.
