[EAN: 9781330857557], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Drag-Net: A Prison Story of the Present Day He had had a bitter quarrel with his father three years before and had left St. Pius, where their little home was situated, and had gone as far east as the land lay. He had worked or not worked as the case might be, but he had always paid his meager way. Now a strong impression had come to him to get back home. It was not only the lure of the West Coast, it was a distinct message, he told himself, that he was needed at home; so he started off to cross the continent as best he could. Tall and thin, with eyes of a dreamer, but the weak chin of inexperience and unevolved will-power, he had followed the dream always, without troubling himself to reason about it; but there was nothing at all bad in him. Sometimes he stoked for a ride; sometimes he rode the brake-beams, or shivered on top of a freight car, but the dream sustained him - the dream of walking into the little home near the sea and seeing his mother s worn face light up with joy at the sight of him, her only child, come back to her voluntarily - pulled by the sheer force of mother love.
