As the townspeople navigate their way through the Great War, the Roaring Twenties, and the first years of the Great Depression, what remains at the center of their lives is their relationships with each other. Follow the adventures of vigorous little spinster Lucy Summerlin and her family, friends, and yes, even the town's black and white outcasts, and experience the way of life of a bygone era.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e About the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During his teaching career, Dr. Michael Alexander wove four or five themes together through many different courses, an experience that was good preparation for the writing of this novel with its many fascinating characters and situations.
