This is a story, buried in the archives of the past, about a young, unfledged teenager, John Graham Jr., who dreamt of becoming a digger on the Panama Canal like his father and who romanticized the experience as "the moving of mountains and the braving of swamps and jungles." To him it was going to be the greatest adventure that he looked forward to. When, in the year 1910, his father sent for him to come to Panama to join him, his dream came true, but not in the way that he had expected. In a period of only five short years after leaving home, his once untarnished and unblemished life was so deeply and so remarkably transformed that even his aunts Beulah and Sarah could not recognize him when he returned to Jamaica.

This is a book of stories compiled by the writer during his life's journey that illustrate eight basic themes of our humanity: Fear of the Unknown, Triumph over Adversity, Dreams and Illusions, Love, Hope, Despair, Faith, and Redemption that he has grouped into eight sections of the same names. Four additional stories are included in a section titled, Most Unforgettable Characters.
