520			_a"Heart's Desire" by Emerson Hough is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against a backdrop of life in a small western town, the story centers around a man named Curly and newcomers from Kansas as they navigate romance and the unique challenges of their community. Hough weaves together themes of longing and contentment, illustrating the dream of finding happiness in a rugged frontier setting. The opening of the book introduces us to Curly, a seasoned cowboy, as he reflects on the vast landscape and the essence of Heart's Desire on Christmas Eve. Through his conversation with another character, we learn of the recent arrival of a family from Kansas, which includes a girl who captures Curly's attention. The town prepares for a unique Christmas dinner that promises a blend of unconventional elements, including canned oysters, which further entices Curly's pursuit of the girl. The beginning captures the mix of camaraderie, hope, and the onset of romantic intrigue as the townsfolk look forward to a holiday celebration that symbolizes their shared connection to a place they yearn to call home.
