In the early years of the 1940s, as the nation's young men ship
off to combat, a city springs up, seemingly overnight in the fields
of Oklahoma: the Van Damme airplane factory, a gargantuan complex
dedicated to the construction of the necessary machinery of
warfare. Laborers--mostly women--flock to this place, enticed by
the opportunity to be something more than wife and homemaker. For
Vi, fleeing a dying ranch; for Connie, following an unfaithful
husband; for Diane, leaving behind the hot music and soldier boys
to pursue something different, adult, and real; their journeys will
be liberating in ways they couldn't previously imagine, and it will
lead each of them to Prosper Olander--disabled artist, forger,
friend, lover, and the true heart and soul of the temporary
city--who will change their lives in profound and unexpected
ways.
