Summary "The Roof Tree" by Charles Neville Buck is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a tense and dramatic opening that introduces a tragic incident involving a gunshot in a mountain cabin, leading to profound consequences for the characters involved. The narrative centers around Kenneth Thornton, who finds himself fleeing and assuming a new identity after defending his sister Sally from her abusive husband. The opening portion of the novel depicts a harrowing moment following a murder, where Kenneth must navigate the emotional turmoil his sister faces. As he grapples with the immediate aftermath, he resolves to protect her and the unborn child. This sets off a chain of events that lead him into the rugged landscapes of Kentucky as a fugitive, intertwined with themes of love, sacrifice, and identity, all while exploring the complex dynamics of family, duty, and protection in a tumultuous environment. The tone is rich with visceral detail, drawing readers into a world of stark realities and emotional depth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
