Summary: "The Broken Gate: A Novel" by Emerson Hough is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. This novel delves into themes of identity, familial connections, and societal perceptions through the complex life of Dieudonné "Don" Lane, who unexpectedly discovers his mother, Aurora Lane, after being raised under the belief he was an orphan. The opening chapters move briskly through the small town of Spring Valley, highlighting the chatter and scrutiny surrounding Aurora, who bears the stigma of having given birth to a child out of wedlock. The opening of the novel introduces us to Don upon his arrival in Spring Valley, where he is met with a mix of recognition and curiosity, particularly concerning his mother, who has a complicated past. As he reunites with Aurora, both share their joy and apprehension about their newfound connection after years of separation. However, a public incident involving his mother and local troublemaker Eph Adamson quickly escalates, leading to a confrontation that forces Don to protect her honor. This encounter ignites a series of events that unravel their hidden truths and challenge the small community’s judgment, setting the stage for deeper conflicts regarding identity, past sins, and reconciliation.
