From the Publisher:
Having been sent from New York City via the Orphan Train in order to help a man work his farm, young John isn't received well by the biological son who, due to his physical limitations, is unable to fulfill his duties alongside his father, but with time, both boys come to an understanding and accept that there is more than enough room for the two of them to live in peace and friendship.
