Winfield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Jack Ruthven, a boy adopted by the Ruthven family and raised in a plantation in South Carolina during the Civil War. As Jack grows up, he grapples with the mysteries of his past and the implications of not being a true Ruthven, while also confronting the challenges posed by war and familial relations. The opening of the story introduces Jack as he encounters a hostile Confederate surgeon on a bridge, signaling the tension of the times. Jack's life is further complicated by the arrival of his cousin St. John, who decries Jack's status as a "nobody" and stirs up insecurities about Jack's origins. As Jack learns more about his mysterious background and the truth of his adoption, he is determined to uncover who he really is, all while remaining loyal to his foster family, especially his beloved sister, Marion. The narrative sets the stage for Jack's journey of self-discovery, the impact of the civil conflict, and the trials of youth amidst familial complexities.
