Description
SYNOPSIS: "The Howell family are too independent to maintain the Quaker faith of their ancestors, they have nevertheless remained conscientious objectors to everything that threatens the spirit and imagination. Novel starts in the 1930s with John, the gentle patriarch. Rachel, his Jewish wife, son Nat who has never been given a chance to fail, and Cally, their crippled daughter-in-law. There are also the third and fourth generations with the story centered on Julia, who leaves home to become first an actress and then a Broadway playwright. At age forty, she returns to claim her inheritance of the family Bible containing the history of the Howells in America." - from Amzon
