Katherine Wayneworth Jones, a comfortable, golf-playing army daughter living on an island garrison on the Mississippi, stops a young woman from drowning herself. Taking the stranger, Ann, into her home, Katie hears of poverty and the hard world outside, and begins to doubt the army’s caste, the treatment of deserters and her own easy beliefs.
