Produktbeschreibung
The broken gate: A novel explores the tension between personal truth and societal perception through a story of hidden identity, judgment, and the human need for reconciliation. Set in a small town where reputation holds significant weight, the narrative traces the emotional upheaval caused by long-concealed relationships and the reemergence of past decisions. A young man's arrival stirs memories and whispers within the community, bringing to light the consequences of moral rigidity and generational shame. As connections once buried are brought into view, the characters are forced to reevaluate their understandings of loyalty, love, and forgiveness. The story emphasizes the cost of societal labeling, especially for women whose choices are scrutinized beyond their control, and highlights how communities often serve as both a refuge and a place of condemnation. With restrained emotion and moments of confrontation, the novel investigates what it means to reclaim one s name and rewrite inherited narratives. Through a slow unraveling of secrets and the quest for dignity, the characters seek to rebuild trust while confronting the uncomfortable truths that divide and bind them.
Autorenporträt
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.
