Set in a small New England village, this novel follows Jerome Edwards, a young man struggling against poverty and social limitations. As he works tirelessly to support his ailing mother and sister, Jerome dreams of a better life but faces the harsh realities of class differences and societal expectations. Through richly drawn characters and vivid descriptions of rural life, Freeman explores themes of perseverance, sacrifice, and the search for dignity in a world where wealth often dictates worth. Freeman was born in Randolph, Massachusetts and at fifteen moved with her family to Brattleboro, Vermont. In 1884, left without any immediate family, she returned to Randolph, where she lived for almost twenty years with her childhood friend Mary Wales. She began to write seriously in the 1970s, and in the early 1880s her work began to appear in such popular magazines as Harper's Bazaar and Harper's Monthly Magazine. At forty-nine Mary E. Wilkins married Charles Manning Freeman, a New Jersey physician, and moved to Metuchen. Thereafter she wrote under the name Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. In April 1926, she received the William Dean Howells Medal for Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters; later that year she was among the first women to be elected to membership in the National Institute of Art & Letters.
