Ira's Journey Timothy Brown

Ira's Journey is about a young man's journey from being a boy to becoming a man. He is in the central part of West Virginia at the end of the 1800s. He struggles with rejection and disappointment but is extremely fortunate in his choice of friends who encourage and guide him on the road to success. Fresh out of a Home for Wayward Boys, he is given a .22-caliber rifle and an ugly old mule, and he sets out to make his way in a world of opportunity. This is a work of fiction, but the towns and creeks will be recognized by anyone familiar with the area.
