Summary "The Hills of Refuge: A Novel" by Will N. Harben is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. This narrative delves into the intricate dynamics of family relationships, focusing on the struggles of the Browne family, particularly involving William and his younger brother Charles. As the story unfolds, the reader is introduced to themes of financial desperation, addiction, and the impact of personal choices on loved ones. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage in the Browne household, depicting a tense breakfast dynamic marked by William’s internal conflict over his professional responsibilities and his troubled brother Charles, who is battling alcoholism. The interactions between William, his wife Celeste, and their young daughter Ruth highlight the emotional strain within the family, particularly as Celeste exhibits concern for both her husband’s mental state and Charles’ well-being. As tensions rise, Charles struggles with feelings of guilt and inadequacy, determining to leave Boston for good to spare his family further pain. The narrative thus intertwines family loyalty with themes of sacrifice and redemption as Charles contemplates his future amidst a growing sense of despair concerning his brother's fate.
