The opening of the novel introduces us to the narrator, David, and his interactions with Joey, a young boy he has taken under his wing. Their evenings are spent by a fire, where David shares tales of a beautiful woman he envisions through the flames, representing hope and adventure. One day, an actual young woman unexpectedly arrives at David's workshop, charming him with her beauty despite her shabby appearance, and inquiring about purchasing land.
