Set in the Kentucky mountains, the story follows the life of a twelve-year-old boy named Steve Langly, who dreams of learning and experiencing the world beyond his isolated home. The narrative explores themes of ambition, hardship, and the contrast between rural and urban life as Steve seeks to fulfill his aspirations. At the start of the book, we meet Steve as he struggles with his feelings of inadequacy after a brief encounter with city folks who ignite his longing for broader horizons. This encounter profoundly impacts him, leading to a promise of a watch from a stranger, which symbolizes the new possibilities that await. The opening chapters establish Steve's character as a resourceful and determined boy, despite his harsh realities, including his father's disdain for city life and education. As he navigates his emotions and aspirations amidst family dynamics and the challenges posed by growing up in the mountains, we witness the beginning of his journey toward understanding and self-discovery.
