Beschreibung

Heart's desire the story of a contented town, certain peculiar citizens and two fortunate lovers: A novel explores the interplay of yearning, belonging, and the quiet fulfillment found in community. Set in a remote town shaped by its distinct pace and personalities, the narrative reflects on how individuals adapt to their surroundings while seeking something greater than routine. As new faces arrive and old rhythms are disrupted, the story uncovers how the search for happiness blends with the desire for companionship. The town itself becomes a character, offering a rugged yet comforting environment where people redefine home and self. Beneath everyday exchanges and festive gatherings lies a deeper reflection on the nature of connection, where love is not dramatic but quietly transformative. The novel embraces the notion that contentment can emerge not from grand gestures but from the shared rituals and small surprises that define daily life. Through moments of humor, reflection, and understated romance, it captures the spirit of a place where people seek both solitude and union, and where the simplest of desires carry the most weight.

Autor

American writer Emerson Hough (1857 1923) was well-known for his large body of historical writing, essays, and novels, especially in the western fiction genre. Hough, who was born in Newton, Iowa, on June 28, 1857, was greatly impacted by the American West's scenery and people. He briefly practiced law after earning his law degree from the University of Iowa in 1880 before deciding to become a writer. Hough's early western-themed writings, such as "The Story of the Cowboy" (1897), launched his literary career and solidified his status as a western fiction author. His books "The Mississippi Bubble" (1902) and "The Covered Wagon" (1922), the latter of which was made into a popular silent film, won him significant praise. Hough wrote on the spirit of exploration, adventure, and hardy individuality of the American frontier throughout his life. His writings contributed to the romanticization of the West in American literature by frequently capturing the struggles and victories of settlers, cowboys, and pioneers.
