Her conquest of knowledge starts the second she is left in a small farming community in North Dakota. From then on, nothing is as it seems. The people she meets are more different than she expected. On her way home, she finds comfort in the fact that she isn't the only North Dakotan on the train, and makes friends with this person. She also helps another journeyman get on the right track for the rest of his trip.
