In June 1950, Lucinda Jones, an aspiring journalist from Paris Junior College, comes to work for Miss Maybelle Winters at the PALOMINO PRESS, as President Truman commits US Forces to repel the invasion of the Republic of Korea. She uncovers secrets, challenges stubbornness, defies injustice, wins trust, discovers her strengths and weaknesses, and delights in the excitement and serenity of true love. This endearing story brings to life once again many of the author's memorable, down-to-earth characters we know and adore from Tank's other novels: The Redeemer, Palomino, and Porky Baycann.
