Ethan Allen Hawley the protagonist of the novel works as a clerk in a grocery store that his family once owned. With the decline in their status his wife is restless and his teenage children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day in a moment of moral crisis Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. February 27 1902 – December 20 1968 was an American writer. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature 'for his realistic and imaginative writings combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception'. He has been called 'a giant of American letters.' During his writing career he authored 33 books with one book coauthored alongside Edward Ricketts including 16 novels six non-fiction books and two collections of short stories. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat 1935 and Cannery Row 1945 the multi-generation epic East of Eden 1952 and the novellas The Red Pony 1933 and Of Mice and Men 1937. The Pulitzer Prize–winning The Grapes of Wrath 1939 is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon. In the first 75 years after it was published it sold 14 million copies. Most of Steinbeck's work is set in central California particularly in the Salinas Valley and the California Coast Ranges region. His works frequently explored the themes of fate and injustice especially as applied to downtrodden or everyman protagonists."

The story is structured like a play divided into acts and it follows Joe Saul an older man yearning for a child to carry on his legacy. His wife Mordeen loves him deeply but faces challenges due to Joe's emotional struggles. This leads to morally complex decisions that intertwine with other characters' lives such as Victor and Friend Ed.
