| Summary | "Beyond the Frontier: A Romance of Early Days in the Middle West" by Randall Parrish is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of early American frontier life, the story centers around Adele la Chesnayne, a young woman caught in the turbulent personal and political intrigues of her time. Adele's life becomes complicated as she navigates her feelings towards the handsome Sieur Rene de Artigny, while being pressured into a marriage with the duplicitous Commissaire Cassion, reflecting the struggles between loyalty, ambition, and familial duty. At the start of the novel, Adele seeks a moment of peace away from her uncle's conversations with Cassion, who is planning a treacherous mission into the wilderness. Memories of the Sieur de Artigny, whom she met three years ago, flood her mind as she recalls her attachment to him. When De Artigny arrives unexpectedly, their interaction reveals a lingering connection, but it is overshadowed by Cassion’s ulterior motives and her uncle's plans for a forced marriage. The opening chapters effectively establish the tension and drama that will unfold as Adele grapples with her precarious situation and the machinations of those around her, foreshadowing a deep conflict between her desires and the constraints imposed by her guardianship.
