The Orphans’ Home Cycle by Horton Foote
The literary work in question is a collection of nine plays that weave a rich tapestry of early 20th-century Texas life through the eyes of Horace Robedaux, a character whose journey from childhood to adulthood is marked by loss, love, and the search for identity. As Horace grapples with the death of his father, his mother's remarriage, and the complexities of his own marital and familial relationships, the narrative explores the themes of resilience, human connection, and the enduring impact of family legacy. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, the plays chronicle the struggles and triumphs of a man and the community that shapes him, offering a poignant look at the ties that bind us to the places we call home.
