Aram learns that he is one of a group of boys who will start a new life in a country called Canada, where there is no war, plenty to eat, and trees covered in gold. But first he must get there. Aram is about to embark on a long journey. Based on the story of Kevork Kevorkian, one of the original Georgetown Boys - a group of Armenian orphans brought to Georgetown, Ontario, in 1923.
