The book centers on the character Eero Laivurinen, who, determined to rise above his humble beginnings as a farm laborer, dreams of becoming a schoolteacher and assumes the responsibilities that accompany his aspiration. As he navigates his newfound life, he grapples with personal struggles, societal expectations, and family obligations that challenge his hopes for a better future. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Eero Laivurinen, whose potential is recognized by his village, sparking aspirations for a brighter future. As he grows older, the weight of others' expectations compels him to consider a life beyond manual labor. Eero ultimately gains the opportunity to attend a seminary, followed by a teaching position—a dream that soon becomes complicated with the burdens of family debts and the responsibility of caring for his ailing mother and disabled sister. The narrative explores Eero's journey as he confronts societal pressures, his own ambitions, and the harsh realities of life that continually test his resolve.
