Rance, about four years old, is left on the porch of Monk Olsen. Monk said, "Nobody calimed him so I jest kept him." The people in Cattleburg refer to him as "Nobody's Boy." Rance loves Monk but longs to know about his real parents and who left him on the porch. At fourteen years old Rance does not know that this weekly hunting trip in the dreaded forest will change his life. He encounters the reality of the old tales about the strange happenings - especially the Swamp Ghost. "Nobody's Boy from Caneela" takes place during the Great Depression. Times are hard. The story portrays the dream of every young person: adventure, suspense, heroism, and discovering who he is.
