Summary: | Cain originated in southern Maryland, leaving for some time, then returning to find it startlingly changed. Cogitating this transformation from oxcarts, scrub woods, and plug tobacco to grand boulevards, lumber, and big auctions rooms, he found himself inventing a novel about it. The result was this novel, the story of Holly Valenty, a girl who is a product of the old dispensation, but who succumbs to the temptations of the new. |
