Stella Returns and Nell Faces Hard Times
In a late 1920s urban setting Stella Davis returns to work after three years away and confesses a broken marriage with Tim Davis. Nell Burroughs, her friend, contemplates love and motherhood while caring for a crowded, strained household including Nell’s mother and grandmother. Nell rejects marriage for herself and argues about whether the poor should have children, as she observes Stella and Tim’s failed expectations and Ned Carpenter as a potential suitor.
