Summary "The Strength of the Pines" by Edison Marshall is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on Bruce Duncan, who after his foster father's death, finds himself confronting financial troubles and unresolved pasts. His life takes a pivotal turn when he receives a message from a friend urging him to visit an old woman in the wilderness, where he hopes to uncover the truth about his origins and possibly reconnect with a lost sister named Linda. The opening of the book introduces Bruce as he is awakened by a late-night phone call that reveals the fragility of his current circumstances following his foster father's passing. He reluctantly welcomes a visit from Barney Wegan, who has news related to the old woman's message about Bruce's heritage. As Bruce decides to travel west to seek answers and an adventure that promises to be both personal and transformative, he reminisces about his attachment to Linda, hinting at a deeper familial bond that has been lost over time. The narrative underscores the themes of identity, the call of the wilderness, and the struggle between civilized life and the untamed natural world, setting the stage for Bruce's forthcoming journey into the heart of the pines.
