"A Forest Hearth: A Romance of Indiana in the Thirties" by Charles Major is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the 1830s in Indiana and centers around the life of a young girl named Rita Bays, her family dynamics, and the budding relationships within the close-knit community. The book explores themes of love, personal growth, and the contrasting influences of justice and tenderness in human relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Rita Bays and her complex family, particularly her domineering mother, Mrs. Margarita Bays, and her gentle, affectionate father. Notably, the narrative hints at a close friendship between Rita and Diccon Bright, a boy from the area, which suggests the beginnings of a romantic relationship. The opening provides a vivid depiction of pioneer life and the challenges faced by settlers, emphasizing Rita's innocence and the internal struggles tied to her emerging feelings for Diccon, setting the stage for her coming-of-age journey amidst the trials of early American life.
