Martha Gwynn hated the girl cage, the San Diego house she shared with four other military wives while their husbands were fighting in Korea. She especially hated how the other women escaped that cage. Freida snuck off to motels with any man in a uniform. Colleen couldn't resist a sailor. Ellen fell for a rich playboy. And Joan slaked her desires with forbidden passions. But Martha promised herself she wouldn't be like them -- that she would resist temptation and wait for her husband's safe return. But then she met Lt. Hank McKellar in a bar and her resolve began to crack, threatening to shatter her life.

Originally published in 1953, the book was later re-released as The Lonely Ones. Author Charles Mergendahl (1919 - 1959) was a novelist and screenwriter best known for his 1958 bestseller The Bramble Bush, which was made into a movie starring Richard Burton and Angie Dickinson.
