The story starts out just before the American Revolution starts. a story about a boy hoping to find his place in the world, he’s actually really annoying and is very prideful and boasting of his silversmithing till an accident brings him down and he is forced to navigate the world as a poor unskilled man with no prospects. His hopes of being rich and well to do once he finishes his long apprenticeship dashed, he goes out into the world and manages to make great friendships while navigating through the beginnings of the Revolution and helping out where and how he can. It was a story well told even if a little implausible. It went into friendships and how meaningful they can be to a person, and how complex family and lack thereof can be. I think if they were to make this into a movie today they would probably have Johnny and Rab be more than just friends, whether or not that was the author's intent.
Does someone die? Yes.
