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.

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. Eventually, he is taken in by George Udell, a local printer and a kind-hearted man. George Udell gives the young man a job, and something more important: spiritual support.
