Wright's daughter-in-law in 1984 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After reading this book at age eleven, Ronald Reagan experienced its lasting impact on his life, and it shaped his own moral sense. He identified with the central character, Dick Falkner, whose childhood was one of poverty and abuse from an alcoholic father. Recognizing his life for what it was, he ran away from his home, but he could not run away from all of his problems. Sixteen years later, he found himself hungry of body and empty of spirit in a small Midwestern town.\u003cbr\u003e Eventually, he is taken in by George Udell, a local printer and a kind-hearted man. George Udell gives the young man a job, and something more important: spiritual support. Through hard work and Christian morals, the man who becomes known as \"that printer of Udell's\" rises above his past to a new life with God, doing what he can to change the lives of the townspeople. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[A] thoroughly good novel.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This is a book that will appeal to both men and women.
