Synopsis

In "The Young Section-Hand," Burton Egbert Stevenson crafts a compelling narrative that immerses readers in the world of railway labor during the early 20th century. Utilizing a realist literary style, Stevenson paints vivid imagery of the struggles and camaraderie among section hands—a pivotal yet often overlooked workforce in the expansion of America's railroads. The novella combines elements of adventure and romance, reflecting the socio-economic transformations of the era, while offering a nuanced exploration of youthful ambition and the quest for belonging in a rapidly changing landscape. Burton Egbert Stevenson, an esteemed American author and a fervent advocate for the arts, was heavily influenced by his experiences in a swiftly industrializing society. Raised in a small town, he was keenly aware of the stark contrasts between urban and rural life and the people who navigated these spaces. His keen observational skills and empathy for the working class infuse this work with authenticity, as Stevenson aims to elevate the voices of those shaping America's technological progress. I highly recommend "The Young Section-Hand" to readers who appreciate historical fiction that delves into the human spirit's resilience. It serves not only as an engaging tale of personal growth but also as a reflective commentary on the labor movement, making it a vital addition to discussions on early American literature.

But Will's new medicines come with all kinds of side effects, Forced to sit out afternoon practice, Will finds himself hanging out with a kid at school, Griffin.

Not to mention Will’s friends at church. 
With all these changes happening faster than he can process them, Will knows that he has a lot to figure out about who he really is on the inside.
