Print on Demand. This book explores the blossoming love between two individuals from different backgrounds and social standings in a small town setting. The story unfolds during a remote period when societal norms and expectations held great sway, and the arrival of a captivating young woman disrupts the established order. Through the lens of this love story, the book delves into themes of class, societal pressures, and the complexities of passion in the face of tradition. The author skillfully weaves a narrative that exposes the hypocrisies and hidden desires beneath a veneer of propriety, shedding light on the transformative power of love and the strength of the human spirit in overcoming social barriers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Paperback. James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. He worked from 1898 to 1900 as a newpaper reporter in New York City, but returned to Richmond in 1901, where he worked several months on the staff of the Richmond News. In 1902, seven of his first stories appeared in national magazines and over the next decade he wrote many short stories and articles, contributing to nationally published magazines including Harper's Monthly Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post, as well as carrying out extensive research on his family's genealogy. In the early 1920s he became the leader of a group of writers known as "The James Branch Cabell School", which included such figures as H. L. Mencken, Carl Van Vechten and Elinor Wylie.
