Along the Wabash, in towns where everyone knows everyone else’s business, ten stories catch ordinary people at the moment their settled convictions give way. A New England woman who arrives certain that no Hoosier could match her upbringing finds her opinions worn down by kindness—and by a widowed preacher with two small children.
Elsewhere a lifelong churchwoman is coaxed to her first play and comes away praising the Lord; a ladies’ literary circle takes up theosophy and gets rather more than it wanted; an aging couple wait out a layover at a country depot with a sorrow they have carried for years; and a factory girl’s first bought-and-paid-for picture brings her something she never expected.
Written by a newspaperwoman who spent half a century watching her neighbors, these sketches of small-town Indiana life catch the comedy of piety, the stubbornness of love, and the quiet dramas that pass unnoticed in places said to have no stories at all.
