About this book
William Raymond's drawings hint at an artistic gift in a household where every expense matters. His father, a watchmaker and seal engraver, worries about the boy's future while his mother teaches trust in God. Sarah A. Myers begins this children's story in a quiet village on the Hudson, then follows an orphan's efforts to hold to the values his parents taught him. Family affection, poverty and faith give the opening its concerns.
William's later trials turn on small decisions about work and kindness. Friendship with Thomas Burton and permission to attend church and Sabbath school offer comfort under harsh guardians. Paid errands for Mrs. Bradley bring him money, but he is careful to respect his employer's time and hopes to help hungry people.
