About This Book

A rural household morning opens with small domestic details and a father's uneasy dream that reveals deeper family tensions. The narrative follows the strained debate over a young man's plan to pursue seminary studies, with a mother urging and a father resisting; the son's determination leads to an emotional farewell. Interwoven are vivid rural scenes, everyday chores, and interior reflections that trace economic anxieties, generational conflict, and tentative hopes for social mobility through education.
