520 _a"The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" by John Fox, Jr. is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Chad, who is faced with loss and the challenge of survival in the rugged mountains of Kentucky after losing his family to a devastating plague. In search of freedom and companionship, Chad sets off on a journey filled with adventures, aiming to break free from the oppressive hold of old Nathan Cherry, who wishes to bind him as a servant. The beginning of this novel introduces us to Chad as he grapples with the haunting loneliness and heartache of his recent loss. We see him mourn at the graves of his family and struggle with the impending decision to leave the only home he's known. Despite his initial despair, Chad quickly resolves to escape the clutches of Nathan and run away with his dog, Jack. The narrative paints vivid imagery of the natural landscape and immerses readers into the emotional turmoil of a boy on the cusp of manhood, setting the stage for his subsequent adventures and encounters with new friends, foes, and the world beyond his mountains. The opening chapters lay a strong foundation for the themes of resilience, friendship, and the quest for belonging that will unfold throughout Chad's journey.
