   Summary

   Via pluck and ferocity, a scrappy orphan escapes horror to ultimately be "raised by a village" in Depression-era Alabama. Therese Belivet finds love and purpose in a "Black Belt" farming community. In 1940, the high school graduate ventures to the buzzing port city of Mobile. Therese is thrilled to secure employment and lodging.

   At Mrs. Cleary's Boarding House for Women, Therese is drawn to a beautifully plain spinster. Therese finds Carol Aird's self-imposed shell hard to crack. As time passes, their city becomes a busy 'war town.' Mobile's population grows twofold, as does Therese and Carol's passion for one another.

   Novel length.

   Note: This is the prequel to The Potomac.
