Yesteryear Again: A Housewife's Diary

Jane Morris grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and reminisces about her childhood and teenage antics. Later, after an unusual Hollywood wedding, a son, and a disappointing marriage, she has to fight for a divorce that is highly contested. Eventually, Jane remarries. Thinking her new husband, Earl, to be barren, she soon, unexpectedly, finds herself the mother of five. Earl is promoted, but his new position requires transferring to the Midwest. They move to Fort Wayne, Indiana, but it isn’t easy flying with five little ones (three in diapers) and an English setter. Living three days in a motel, while their furniture is trucked over the highways, isn’t smooth sailing either. From then on it seems as though one challenge after another crops up as their children mature.
