The Five Redheads tells the story of the Maloney sisters, born in
Cincinnati in the tumultuous 20th century, and follows them from
the unlimited potential of birth to the regrets and satisfactions
of middle age. As young children their lives and personalities are
most influenced by their mother's extreme conservatism and their
father's gambling habit, but, as they grow, their lives and the
choices they make are influenced more by economic and political
events. As they wend their way through the labyrinth of life, the
sisters rely on each other and their tight-knit extended family for
guidance and support. As events unfold, each sister's personality
is revealed through conversations: Theresa, the leader; Bernadette,
the intellectual; Ellen, the dreamer; Lucille, the worker; and
Margery Ann, the manipulator; and each sister brings her own
characteristics and unique perspective to the changing role of
women in the twentieth century.
