Sawdust Footprints

The time is the mid 1980s; the location is an orchard in the northeast U.S. in mid-winter. The central character, Lester Maleau, is a worker in the orchard. His life seems to be at a hopelessly low ebb. Over the course of three days of work, through attentiveness to his work and through interaction with his co-workers, he is reminded of his humanity.
