Overview

John Fox, Jr.'s most celebrated novel made into a grand and glorious play. Lovely June Tolliver, born and reared in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is ignorant of the great outside world. Handsome young Jack Hale, a northerner, comes down to the mountain region to survey its land and act as head of a small band of policemen who strive to establish law and order. When Jack and June meet at the foot of The Lonesome Pine, a fine friendship springs up that rapidly ripens into love. For years there has existed a feud between the Tollivers and a clan known as the Falins. Bub Tolliver, June's younger brother, shoots and kills Buck Falin. Jack, in his capacity of policeman, comes to the Tolliver cabin where Bub is hiding. Judd Tolliver, June's stern and hot-tempered father, prepares to greet Hale with a rifle. Torn between her desire to aid her brother and to save the life of the man she has come to love, June lies to Hale. Then, in order to get Hale out of the cabin she tells him that she has never cared for him and that she never wants to see him again! The suspense is breath-taking.
