Meredith Knox and Phyllis Moore, the heroines of Leaving Pontotoc County, are young wives forced to carve a life for themselves they never imagined possible once their husbands go overseas in World War II. The third book, Can We Find Our Way Back Home? (which is in process), follows the attempts of Virgil, Meredith, and Phyllis to adjust to life in a post-War America.
