The story centers around Conrad Weiser, a thirteen-year-old boy living in the ravaged village of Gross Anspach, who embarks on a perilous journey with his family and neighbors in pursuit of a better life in the New World. Themes of war, famine, and hope intertwine as the characters dream of a peaceful and prosperous future. The opening of the novel introduces the Weiser family and their dire circumstances in Gross Anspach, a village devastated by war and the harsh winter. Conrad is tasked with caring for the family's cow, Liesel, and he shares dreams of a new land filled with plentiful resources and freedom from conflict. As the family's patriarch, John Conrad Weiser, gathers the village to propose a journey to escape their suffering, hope flickers amidst their despair. The gathering resonates with a mix of resignation and anticipation as they prepare to leave their homeland for an uncertain but hopeful future.
