βA historical, feminist romance . . . a realistic evocation of small-town America circa 1917, including its racial tensions.β βMilwaukee Journal Sentinel, β96 Books for Your Summer Reading Listβ
Marian Elliot Adams, an outspoken advocate for sensible undergarments for women, sweeps onto the Chautauqua stage under a brown canvas tent on a sweltering August night in 1917, and shocks the gathered town of Emporia with her speech: How can women compete with men in the workplace and in life if they are confined by their undergarments? The crowd is further appalled when Marian falls off the stage and sprains her ankle, and is forced to remain among them for a week. As the week passes, she throws into turmoil the townβs unspoken rules governing social order, women, and African Americansβand captures the heart of Emporiaβs recently widowed newspaper editor. She pushes Deuce Garland to become a greater, braver, and more dynamic man than he ever imagined was possible. As Deuce puts his livelihood and reputation on the line at home, Marianβs journey takes her to the frozen mud of Franceβs Picardy region, just beyond the lines, to help destitute villagers as the Great War rages on.
Marian is a powerful catalyst that forces nineteenth-century Emporia into the twentieth century; but while she agitates for enlightenment and justice, she has little time to consider her own motives and her extreme loneliness. Marian, in the end, must decide if she has the courage to face small-town life, and be known, or continue to be a stranger always passing through.
βA sweeping and memorable story of struggle and suffrage, love and redemption.β βNew York Journal of Books
