(Edmund Marion) The Plum Tree Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Plum Tree" by David Graham Phillips is a novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Harvey Sayler, a young attorney navigating the complexities of life, love, and the corrupt political landscape of Jackson County. The narrative delves into his struggles with poverty, aspirations for freedom, and the challenges he faces as he pursues a career in law while dealing with personal relationships, particularly the lingering attachment to his childhood love, Elizabeth Crosby. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Harvey and his mother during a bleak breakfast, where they discuss their economic difficulties but also share a sense of resilience. The conversation reveals Harvey's ambitions, particularly his discontent working for a more established lawyer and his longing for independence. The opening segment sets the tone for his emotional journey as he grapples with familial loyalty, societal expectations, and the burdens of his ambitions, leading him to romantic and professional entanglements that threaten his integrity and dreams.
