David Graham Phillips 
The Hungry Heart: A Novel 

Courtship and honeymoon of Richard Vaughan and Courtney Benedict are told accurately enough by a thousand chroniclers of love’s fairy tales and dreams. Where such romances end in a rosily vague ‘And they lived happily ever after, ‘ there this history begins. Richard and Courtney have returned from Arcady to reality, to central Indiana and the Vaughan homestead, across the narrow width of Wenona the lake from Wenona the town.
