This multi-generational story is set in small-town Texas spanning
the years from World War II to the present. Two sisters, Martha
Claire and Justine, move from girlhood to adulthood with different
points of view and vastly different dreams. Martha Claire, the
central character, is content with her small-town life. She marries
Grayson Stewart, son of the town's most successful businessman,
just before he is shipped overseas for duty. He is everything she
ever wanted in a husband. But even more than a husband, Martha
Claire wants a child. Justine has a very different plan for herself
and joins the Women's Army Corps. She envisions a glamorous,
adventure-filled life on her own as a photographer. So it is with
no small irony that when the war ends, Martha Claire is to be found
back home, feathering a still-empty nest, while Justine returns
from Europe suffering both the physical and mental distress of
finding herself pregnant and unwed. It is from this starting point
that Judith Henry Wall's poignant and affecting novel follows these
women as they set about living lives of compromise with both the
joys and the tragedies that mark daily lives.
