As the Korean War begins, the children of Will and Marian Stuart appear to be building successful lives far from the Arkansas farm that shaped their parents. Hollywood, professional ambition and new relationships offer opportunities that earlier generations could scarcely have imagined, but war and personal failure expose how fragile that prosperity can be.

The family is gradually drawn back toward its Ozark roots as members confront disappointment, temptation and the consequences of choices made in pursuit of independence. The novel places a multi-generational Christian family saga within early Cold War America, contrasting the promise of post-war success with the obligations that continue to bind parents, children and siblings to one another.
