Summary "The Promise" by James B. Hendryx is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around William Carmody, a young man caught between his reckless lifestyle in New York City and the expectations of his father, Hiram Carmody, a wealthy banker. As William grapples with issues of identity, love, and the consequences of his choices, he faces a turning point that propels him towards a more meaningful life amidst the rugged backdrop of the Great Northwest. At the start of the novel, William wakes up in a disheveled state after a night of heavy drinking, experiencing physical discomfort and nausea. As he contemplates his life and the prospect of facing his disapproving father, we learn about William's tumultuous relationship with the equally strong-willed Ethel Manton, the woman he loves. Ethel challenges him to strive for success and abandon his careless ways, setting the stage for a transformative journey. The dynamic between William and his father, marked by disappointment and expectation, is further complicated by a series of events that lead to William deciding to leave his past behind and seek redemption and purpose, introducing the reader to themes of ambition, family tension, and personal growth.
