The Vagabond

After his father’s sudden death, twelve-year-old Marce leaves his small Indiana town and takes to the rails. Along the way, he meets Indiana Jack, a seasoned drifter who lives by his own rules and carries a past he rarely speaks of. As they travel south together, Jack teaches Marce how to survive the road—and what it costs to live without roots. But freedom comes with consequences, and when trouble follows the southbound line, Marce must face the man Jack has been, and the man he himself is becoming. The Vagabond is a quiet coming-of-age story about loss, inheritance, and the moments that teach us when to keep moving—and when to stop.
