ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
| New
Hampshire, 1929 - when Sexton Beecher proposes to Honorary Willard, she
lays aside his flaws as one might overlook a small stain in a beautifully
embroidered tablecloth. But as the couple begin their new life in the house
at Fortune's Rocks, their love is about to be tested to the limit. For the
Wall Street Crash has as little time for dreams as it has for the mill workers
at nearly Ely Falls, readying for strike whatever the consequences… Sea Glass is a richly engaging tale of marriage, money and troubled times. |
