FROM THE JAZZ AGE TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION. A young widower, whose first wife died tragically in childbirth, courts his second wife in the late 1920s. While traveling for his job throughout the Midwest, he writes letters that are sometimes tragic and sometimes funny. He misses the baby left at home with his parents and grieves his first wife. He moves forward to build a life for his daughter, and possibly the young nurse with blue eyes. BLACK AND WHITE INTERIOR.
