A short while later, his mother sends him out on his own, traversing the country side without a pair of shoes to wear. He's uneducated, can't read or write, and has very little concept of the world at large. The story is so laser-focused from Ingram's perspective, that it's an unraveling mystery of when this story takes place. By the last page, I was left wanting more, but also, a part of me was relieved it was over.
