The novel that inspired a young Ronald Reagan--and left him with an abiding belief in the triumph of good over evil.

I found a role model in that traveling printer whom Harold Bell Wright had brought to life. He set me on a course I've tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful. --Ronald Reagan, in a letter to Harold B. Wright's daughter-in-law in 1984

After reading this book at age eleven, Ronald Reagan experienced its lasting impact on his life, and it shaped his own moral sense. He identified with the central character, Dick Falkner, whose childhood was one of poverty and abuse from an alcoholic father. Recognizing his life for what it was, he ran away from his home, but he could not run away from all of his problems. Sixteen years later, he found himself hungry of body and empty of spirit in a small Midwestern town.
