Rumors of peace are spreading across America, but spreading even faster are the first cases of Spanish influenza, whispering of the epidemic to come. Maureen Ross, well past a safe childbearing age, is experiencing a difficult pregnancy. Her husband, Troop -- cold and careless of her condition -- has battered her spirit throughout their marriage. Into this loveless ménage arrives Troop's niece, Mary Oliver, who has come to help Maureen in the last weeks of her confinement. Horrified by Troop's bullying, she realizes that her true duty is to protect her aunt.</p> <p>As the influenza spreads and the death toll grows, Troop's spiteful behavior worsens. He terrorizes the household, but when Mary fights back he begins to go over the edge. Maureen rallies, releasing a stunning thunderstorm of confrontation and, ultimately, finding spiritual renewal.</p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. 858660 1997 Divining Women (P.S.) total:276|5:58|4:93|3:87|2:28|1:10| 276 989 392 37 4 0 false false Thu Jun 04 00:30:26 -0700 2009 Sun Jan 25 18:54:32 -0800 2009 Thu Jun 04 00:30:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Jul 28 14:27:40 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 14:27:40 -0700 2009 here to find it in the catalogue.more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 07:02:43 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 07:16:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Feb 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 16:29:19 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 08:42:25 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 08:33:38 -0700 2009 Sun May 17 08:34:39 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 10:02:18 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 17:03:12 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 17 19:38:47 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 07 13:21:21 -0800 2009 1 (so far) more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 13:32:39 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 13:33:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 14 20:38:45 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 20:40:07 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 13:12:09 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 11:53:42 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 08:03:05 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 08:07:31 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 06 06:32:11 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 06:33:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 11:05:41 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 11:06:34 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jul 06 08:11:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 08:11:54 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 24 16:16:31 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 16:16:44 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 31 16:02:28 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 18:14:21 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 16:02:28 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Aug 07 16:03:43 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 07 16:07:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Aug 28 09:36:09 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 09:36:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 15 10:06:33 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 09:35:51 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 10:06:33 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 13:26:46 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 23 13:32:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=179127
