     I sat on the front porch after supper on my birthday. I had a date with that mountain out there in the distance. It wasn't clear to me how I'd prove I was a man to Paw. I'd been pondering on it a spell. I'd need to leave the cabin in the valley by the river that was the only home I'd ever known. I'd leave to prove myself. Once I saw that Hawkin rifle I got for my birthday, I knew what I'd do. I had a man's rifle now and I was going to shoot me a griz.

     Autumn Allies is a story about growing up and proving yourself to your father. It is also a story of another kind ... independence, dependence, friendship and more.
