Synopsis:
In 1960 Jill Ker Conway arrived in America from Australia. This sequel to "The Road from Coorain" tells of her gradual acclimatization to the new continent; her discovery of the world of intellectual, energetic women; her romance and marriage to John Conway, a war hero and Harvard housemaster; and their year-long European honeymoon, during which she came to grips with the reality of John's manic-depressive disorder, as well as the lingering, poisonous anger of her mother.
