Description:Pretty, capable Edith Merrivale was, to the outside world, almost the perfectly successful wife and mother. She and her husband and their three children had prospered. Theirs was a charming home and a charming family group. It was only to be expected that the town would buzz with gossip when Mrs. Merrivale announced that she was going to join the WAC.Ostensibly it was for patriotic reasons, and no one but Donald, her husband, had cause to know otherwise. Their marriage had been a mockery for years and now, finally, Edith, convinced that she must find some escape, was choosing a course destined to play havoc with the lives of those nearest and dearest to her.For when Mrs. Edith Merrivale did become a WAC, she found two things she hadn't expected. First, it was no escape from an empty marriage into a glamorous world. It was a change into a world of tremendous and important responsibility, of hard work, of proud endeavor. She was serving her country in wartime, and her country needed her. But it was also a divorce from the people who had been her job and her responsibility for many years, her husband and her two daughters and her son. And they needed her, too. And she found that she needed them.Here is a sincere, candid story of the impact of war on an American family, the kind that might well be the one across the street from you, or your own.
