(See trailer on Author's page). A World War II romance, a rocky marriage, the births of a son and daughter, and a move to rural Idaho. Betty then recounts Mitch's gradual spiral from being a man who could build or fix anything into the world of the mentally ill, obsessed with the Virgin Mary and extra-terrestrial flight. Betty relies on her love of the land for the courage to fulfill her marriage vows and protect her family. From a life of subservience to the family bread-winner, temptation, fear and love give a razor's edge to a sometime funny, but often difficult life. It is also the story of the conflicting relationship between Betty and her daughter, Torie, and her pride and fears for her son, Michael, who becomes a combat infantry lieutenant in Vietnam. The author drew on her observations of her father's mental illness to give this novel authenticity.
