Mosaic of sorrow and home life in a long farm tale
The narrative follows Millicent and Richard Heath on a rocky farm year. They reflect on family, letters from a missing sailor, and the pull of newspapers versus household budget. Alfred Heath falls ill but survives with his parents at a worn homestead, and the piece ends with a broader Ohio political attack on reform.
