For Mary Stevenson Crye, a beautiful young housewife, life had been wonderful -- loving husband, two delightful children, meaningful existence in a small Southern community. Then it all fell apart: with the sudden, unexpected death of her husband, Stevie must struggle to earn a living as a freelance writer.
