Sid Porter

Sid Porter was raised in and around Junction, Texas. He fell in love when he was twelve years old with a woman thirty years his senior. When he was nineteen, she hired Sid, and he worked for her for two years. She then had to let him go because of a draught. Although she loved Sid like a son, she only realized that she was in love with him after they parted.

Sid traveled to Mexico, where he embraced the land and its people. He wrote love letters to his sweetheart every week he was gone. The letters melted her heart, and later she wrote him to come home and that she would marry him. The marriage lasted two blissful years, but then tragedy struck.

At an early age, Sid apprenticed with a doctor who also treated animals. Sid worked with him from the age of twelve until he was eighteen. This gave him a background in medicine that led to a career as a medical doctor. The book takes Sid through many adventures and some loves. Sid's many friends make him realize that one of God's greatest gifts is the friendship of others.
