Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Heart of the Blue Ridge" by Waldron Baily is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque setting of the Blue Ridge Mountains and centers on Zeke Higgins, a young man venturing out into the world while leaving behind his beloved Plutina. As Zeke grapples with his departure and the complexities of love and jealousy, the narrative reveals the deep emotional connections and struggles of the mountain folk. The beginning of the story introduces Zeke as he sets off on a journey away from his home, taking a moment to both cherish and mourn the separation from his old life and his mother. As he walks, he is filled with conflicting emotions—sadness for leaving his mother and a fierce love for Plutina, who awaits him. The tender interaction between Zeke and Plutina at their parting highlights their deep bond and the tension of their uncertain future together. This opening portion beautifully sets the stage for themes of love, ambition, and the challenging life in the mountains, drawing the reader into their rich emotional landscape and the trials that lie ahead.
