The Crazy man / Pamela Porter

After a freak farming accident which leaves Emaline permanently disabled, Emaline's dad blames the beloved family dog, shoots it and walks away from the family farm in Saskatchewan. In an effort to keep the family farm operating, Emaline's mother hires a man from the local mental hospital to work their fields.

Emaline acknowledges the Crazy Man's illness, but together they work on healing physically and emotionally despite the town's prejudice. This story is narrated by Emaline in short lines of free verse.
