Explores the lives of four women in smalltown Michigan during WWII. The unlikely quartet of heroines a mouthy Italian, a farm girl desperate to go to college, a spinster schoolteacher who's inherited a fortune, and a bored housewife meet and become fast friends when they take Rosie the Riveter jobs at a local factory.
Not my favorite Lynn Austin novel.
The story is entertaining and heartwarming, but I felt moved way to quickly in the end. Still an enjoyable read.
