Little Graham Stewart lives on the Prairie with his Father. He comes to school with bruises on his body, he doesn’t want to talk about them. His dad, John Stewart, never remembers doing it and doesn’t even know why he drinks. The Ingallas are aware of everything…as is the entire town of Walnut Grove. When things eventually go overboard…John Stewart finally admits he needs help. If not for himself at least for the boy. Caroline, vicariously through Charles, decides it’s time to show some tough love to get John back to his son.
