Love and hate battle for control between two Adirondack families: One family enjoys wealth; the other struggles for survival. Obie, a child of the Depression, loves two sisters: Cassie is his best friend and confidant; Laura is the one he's determined to marry. Abigail, the girls' mother, will do anything to prevent that. Suffering bitter betrayal, Obie is cast into a world ravaged by war. This story plays out over the diverse areas of the New York Adirondacks, the boot of Italy, and the Bay Area of California. Above all, it's a story about a young man's loss of faith and his convoluted journey to reclaim it.
