Albert Dunham, the sullen, tormented father, dominates the story. Ambitious and immature, he marries beautiful Fanny June Taylor, a well-to-do woman many years older than he, and for a time is able to regard himself as a man of property. But not long after Katherine is born, his wife dies, and the property is dissipated among relatives...
