Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Icebound: A Play by Owen Davis" is a drama written in 1923 that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Set on a Maine farm, the play follows the Jordan family as they gather for the reading of their matriarch's will. When the estate unexpectedly passes to a distant cousin, Jane Crosby, family tensions rise. Jane must navigate her new responsibilities, including helping the family's troubled young son Ben, who fled after accidentally burning a neighbor's farm. This grim portrayal of New England life explores family loyalty, redemption, and unexpected inheritance.
