The River's Bend

The River's Bend is the journey of a small town Wisconsin girl who reads her way through her bedridden childhood illness during the Depression; gets "discovered" on the train to California while visiting the man she loves; detours to post-war New York where she becomes a successful model; rubs shoulders with the rich, famous and political including JFK; marries and becomes a typical 1950s housewife; moves to the suburbs to raise her children in the safety of Cold-War suburbia, and comes full circle back to Mayville, Wisconsin where today she runs a charming Bed & Breakfast.
