The narrative recounts the life of Gordon Sellar, focusing on his childhood in Glasgow and the hardships faced after his mother's death, which ultimately leads him to emigrate to Canada in search of a better life. The story emphasizes themes of resilience, community, and the pursuit of a new beginning in a foreign land. The opening of the narrative introduces Gordon's early memories of his mother and father, setting a poignant tone as he recalls the heart-wrenching loss of his mother to fever.
