His Own People is a novel written by Booth Tarkington that tells the story of a wealthy young man named John Denby who, after being raised in Europe, returns to his hometown in the American Midwest. Denby is initially welcomed back with open arms by his family and old friends, but he soon discovers that his privileged upbringing has left him out of touch with the realities of life in his hometown. As he tries to reconnect with his roots, he finds himself drawn to the working-class people of the town, including a young woman named Hilda who works in a factory. However, his attempts to bridge the class divide are met with resistance from both his own family and the townspeople. The novel explores themes of class, identity, and the struggle to find a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing world.Illustrated By Lawrence Mazzanovich And F. R Gruger.
