Opal Miller has the
nickname of Pug after once having a Pug dog. She lives on a farm in North Carolina with her mother,
Ruby. Her dad has been reported
missing in WWII. Pug discovers Tom
by the road and his leg is bleeding.
She runs to get her mother and they help him to their farmhouse. He has been bitten badly by one of the neighbor
dogs and his leg is broken.
Once Tom is able to get around, Opal sends him on his way with some
clothing belonging to her husband.
When she goes to town, she sees the Sheriff is interviewing Tom in his
office. He caught him trying to
catch a train and he believes the clothing he has was stolen from Opal. She talks to the Sheriff and she
invites Tom back to the farm to help them plow the fields.
This is interesting
and good. Everyone in the
community believes Tom is a coward and a draft dodger since he’s not in the
war. Many of the men took farm
deferments for the draft but they don’t think about that in the same way. No one really knows Tom’s story because
he doesn’t talk about his past. 3
