"Who Crosses Storm Mountain?" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of rural life in the American mountains, the book presents a narrative that explores themes of conflict, poverty, and redemption. The story revolves around the struggles of the Gilhooley family, emphasizing their hardships and the impact of their social environment. The plot unfolds as the Gilhooleys face a crisis when Deputy Clem Tweed levies an illegal execution against their property, driven by a vendetta from the vindictive Peter Petrie. In response, Ross Gilhooley, the family patriarch, reacts in rage, leading to a series of events that culminate in their forced departure from their home. Amidst this turmoil, the narrative takes a whimsical turn with the accidental baby kidnapping by the drunken Tank Dysart, who places the baby in a mailbag. Eventually, the child's fate intertwines with the Gilhooley family, leading to a resolution that fosters reconciliation between their feuding families. Ultimately, the story highlights the themes of familial bonds and the spirit of goodwill during the Christmas season. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
