Publisher's Synopsis
A simple, but inspiring story about a man who had to make a choice: move from his farm or continue to live in seclusion with his son and forfeit the chance for a better life for both of them. Clifford Molt was a man with a strong faith in God. He knew what it was to earn his living by the sweat of his brow. He loved working the land. He had little formal education. Life was his school for learning. His social world was small. He rarely ventured beyond the boundaries of his small acreage, but when a lady knocked on his door, informing him that his young son needed to learn in a classroom, his world began to change. The year was 1944, before the country schools and city schools consolidated. After Frankie finished eighth grade, moving from the farm was Clifford's only option if his son were to further his education, but, could he break a promise that he had made?
