It is the story of Charles Kimball Ryan, a street smart city boy who is abandoned and ends up on the steps of an orphanage. This is Charley's story, based on a real life story, Charley must find his way when he is placed in a rural dairy farming family. Charley's greatest challenge lies ahead! tags: I wrote
