Used to the simple routine of country life, a shy young man is trying to find his own way in a new place, a college setting that is very different for him. On the way back to his dorm one evening, he gets lost, somehow ending up on a path that leads him to Hard Creek. It turns out to be a round-about and not very easy way to get where he needed to go, but this uncanny detour leads him to an unexpected realization about himself and his own fortitude. There is a lot for the reader to see in this tale, as there is always a bridge to cross, a path that is hard or uneven, or an unexpected test of will and inner strength, no matter what age we are.
