Cast adrift by the death of her beloved mother, she goes to Charleston to make her way working in a fish market, only to return pregnant with twin boys. When her sons, as awesome in size as their mother, gravitate toward football, the family's fortunes take a distinct turn for the better in the promised land of California, where Marietta must find a place for herself as a country woman living in the land of freeways and luxury condominiums. Dust jacket as minor shelf wear, writing on front endpaper, otherwise in pristine condition. Very good in a very good+ dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover..
