About the book
In the summer of 1929, three strong-willed women, related by marriage, gather under one roof: widowed matriarch Maude Hennesey, whose belief in old-fashioned ways is shared by the ladies of her club; her pretty, spoiled daughter Rachel and daughter-in-law Marie, who's been forced by her husband, Harry, to uproot their two small children and take up residence in his family's East Texan home until economic circumstances improve. Monte Schulz, son of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, examines the conflicts within the family and the tensions in small-town Bellemont.
