"Ralph Granger's Fortunes" by William Perry Brown is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Ralph Granger, a fifteen-year-old boy grappling with intense family feuds and seeking his own path in life. Set against the backdrop of the rugged mountains and later, the bustling lowlands, it explores themes of loyalty, courage, and the desire to break free from the burdens of the past. The opening of the novel introduces Ralph and his grandfather, Bras Granger, who is fixated on avenging the death of Ralph's father, killed in a feud with the Vaughn family. Ralph, showing a sense of morals uncommon for his family, defies his grandfather's wishes and refuses to kill the son of his father's murderer. This pivotal moment leads to a confrontation, culminating in Ralph being expelled from his home. The first chapter sets the stage for Ralph’s journey as he leaves behind his childhood and embarks on an adventure that promises self-discovery and new challenges, hinting at the broader societal conflicts awaiting him outside the mountains.
