| Summary | "The Man Next Door" by Emerson Hough is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of Old Man Wright, his daughter Bonnie Bell, and Curly, their foreman, as they transition from ranch life in Wyoming to a new life in Chicago. The narrative follows their struggles with adapting to urban society while maintaining their identities and relationships. The opening of the book introduces Bonnie Bell Wright, a spirited young woman raised on a Wyoming ranch, and her father, Old Man Wright, following the death of Bonnie's mother. With her father contemplating selling their ranch and relocating to Chicago for her education and a chance at a better life, the narrative captures their memories and emotions tied to their ranching roots. Curly, the foreman who has shared a long working relationship with Old Man Wright, experiences both nostalgia and anxiety about their impending move. As the story unfolds, it hints at the challenges they will face as they seek to integrate into the more sophisticated society of the city while grappling with their past.
