| 520 | _a"The Heart of Cherry McBain: A Novel" by Douglas Durkin is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The novel centers around the lives of the inhabitants of a small, unnamed frontier town in Canada, particularly focusing on King Howden, a complex man grappling with his past, and Cherry McBain, the spirited daughter of a railway construction boss. With themes of struggle, romance, and conflict, the story explores how their lives intertwine within the backdrop of the challenging and often harsh frontier life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to King Howden as he rides through the hot summer landscape with his dog, Sal. King reflects on his life choices, feeling disenchanted as he approaches his 28th birthday with little to show for his dreams. As he gazes upon the valley where the town lies, he contemplates the secrets and unease that permeate the community. His first encounter with Cherry McBain happens when she surprises him during a moment of introspection. Their interaction hints at a deeper connection, as Cherry expresses a need for help regarding her father, Keith McBain, who struggles with inner demons and the influence of Bill McCartney, a foreman whose presence looms ominously. This opening sets the stage for the evolving dynamics between the characters against a backdrop of rugged determination and the emerging complexities of their relationships.
