Friel is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the rugged wilderness of the Shawangunk Mountains, exploring themes of survival, human-animal conflict, and the struggles of marginalized people. The narrative focuses on a brave mountain girl named Marry Oaks and a newcomer, Douglas Hampton, who finds himself entangled in the precarious lives of the Trapsmen, along with their tensions and histories with both nature and each other.  At the start of the story, we encounter a panther that is on the prowl, threatening the safety of a girl navigating the treacherous rocks. Her call for help catches the attention of Douglas Hampton, who rushes to her aid. This initial encounter quickly develops into a complex relationship as Marry displays courage despite her injuries, and Douglas asserts himself as a resourceful protector. Their interactions reveal her fierce independence and reluctance to trust outsiders, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the challenges they face together in this hostile environment, including encounters with both nature and the remnants of conflict among the people of the mountain region.
