| Summary | "The Freed Boy in Alabama" by Anne M. Mitchell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Tom Alson, who, after the Civil War, embarks on a journey of self-discovery, education, and responsibility as he leaves his home in Huntsville, Alabama, to work on a plantation. The narrative delves into themes of faith, education, and the struggles against poverty, as Tom grapples with the decision to prioritize his schooling over immediate labor opportunities. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Tom, who is contemplating his future while balancing the pressing circumstances of his family life. As he interacts with a man seeking workers for a nearby plantation, Tom reveals his dedication to education, much to the chagrin of those around him who doubt the value of his academic pursuits. He ultimately decides to leave for the plantation, motivated by a desire to work for a higher purpose, which he equates with serving Jesus. The opening chapters set the stage for a transformative summer filled with challenges as Tom tries to fulfill his longing for knowledge and spiritual fulfillment while also helping his community, marking the beginning of his impactful journey.
