"Rosemary Freeman has stormed out of the living room of their Los Angeles home after a scene about her wedding, planned for the coming June, which she had expected her mother to finance. Her parents, Kim and Mary Ann Freeman, have brought her aged grandfather, convalescing from a broken hip, home to care for him, rather than sell his home in Mayville, Utah, and put him in a nursing home. His home is beloved by all the family. Rosemary's mother must give up her job of teaching in order to take on this new responsibility, and it will cut the family income in two." [Publisher's synopsis]
