Description

 From the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of A Lot Of Acres: the deeply affecting and effective tale of 1 woman’s existence, from post-civil-War Missouri to California in the middle of World War II.  When Maggie Mayfield marries Chief Andrew Jackson Jefferson Early in the age of twenty seven, she barely avoids condemning himself alive being an old maid. Alternatively, understanding little about relationship and perhaps less about her partner, she goes with Tim to his naval base in California. Maggie stands by Tim during disasters both personal and traditional, but as World-War II techniques and the strategies of her husband’s educational and medical past start to surface, she's compelled to rethink the life span she'd so carefully built.
