When Mary Catherine, the only child of old-fashioned parents,
becomes a teacher in a ghetto school, she and her family will never
be the same. New ideas and new relationships lead to trouble at
home as well as on the job. Since the year is 1953, her struggle to
adapt to change plays out against a daily barrage of headlines
about a Soviet H-bomb and the long reach of Senator Joseph
McCarthy's Red witch hunt. The two colleagues who offer support
each prove to be threat to her peace of mind. The discovery of her
father's double life and the demands of her own increasing
sexuality finally drive her to a painful decision.
