After chasing her beloved dog, Emaline's father accidentally runs over her leg with a tractor leaving her permanently disabled.

During the spring time, Clarice, Emaline's mother has to find someone to seed the fields for them as farming is the only source of income for the family.

"[2] The townspeople purposely drive by Emaline's house to tease and laugh at "The Crazy Man" working in the farm fields.

Frank, the town mechanic drives by daily and yells out, "I hear you have a sub-human out there", and others would call Angus "The Gorilla.

"[2] What the townspeople do not realize is that Angus is an extremely gentle and caring individual who would not hurt anyone or harm anything.

The novel wraps up with the farm fields growing beautifully, the best they have ever grown, and Emaline, Clarice, and Angus happily dancing under the Northern Lights without Cal, enjoying life as they once had before the tractor accident.
