The book follows the career of Hugh Paret from youth to manhood, and how his profession as a corporation lawyer gradually changes his values.
The title is a reference to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, where Luke 15:13 (KJV) provides that the son went "into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living."
The book received positive reviews and was the second best-selling novel in the United States in 1915.

Winston Churchill (November 10, 1871 - March 12, 1947) was an American best-selling novelist of the early 20th century. He is nowadays overshadowed, even as a writer, by the very much more famous British statesman of the same name, with whom he was acquainted, but not related. Their lives had some interesting parallels.
