Mary was the only daughter of J. R. Kent, the town's most prominent citizen. Tom Donovan was the new salesman in J. R.'s real estate office. Quite by accident he met Mary and they fell in love and got married. In the first years of their marriage, Mary and Tom found laughter and companionship. All too soon, however Tom began to feel oppressed by the weight of a tradition and a way of life he could not understand and longed for the freedom he knew in his bohemian days. (#0000290)
