Plot summary
Intent on going to sunny turn-of-the-century Florida, the polite sixteen-year-old runaway orphan, Biarn Turner, sets out on foot on a long journey, only to find not one, but two father figures. In the small town of Delphi, the gruff and affluent landowner, Tobias Brown, is willing to take Biarn under his wing and teach him the hard lessons of life--while, on the other hand--the kind and generous newspaper editor, Doyle Magee, is also interested in taking in the boy. As the grand 4th of July celebration approaches, two polar opposites and the entire city's compassionate inhabitants want to help Biarn become a man, against the backdrop of enthusiastic preparations for the fascinating annual horse-trotting race. Is innocent Biarn destined to fulfil his dream in Missouri's quiet little city?
