Peter Pond Tale of Mrs Stone's Protege and a Boy Named Peter
A troubled boy calling himself Peter Pond becomes a ward of Mrs Stone and Adelia at a ranch. He hides a past and uses imagination to cope while earning trust. A newspaper confession about a feud and a mob murder links his story to a planned life in a new Arizona style setting, ending with a pretend name and a hopeful future named Egypt Ranch.
