About This Book

A one-armed youth takes a post guarding a vast marsh, where daily labor and close observation of plants and animals draw him into a deep bond with the wild. He forms friendships with the work camp, aids vulnerable neighbors, and faces threats from a dangerous local, risking his safety to protect others. Simultaneously he experiences budding romance complicated by uncertainty about his origins; the story blends vivid natural description with episodes of courage, moral tests, and the protagonist's gradual discovery of identity and belonging.
