Mary Bobbie, Thomas Sister #1
Guilt resurfaces when Bobbie sees a forlorn toddler in a Dust Bowl shack while visiting her sisters in Oklahoma. The little girl reminds her of the daughter she lost. Can she continue to keep her part in her child's death from her policeman husband, or will her long-held secret erode all the trust their marriage is built upon?
Sally Matilda, Thomas Sister #2
Already the mother of four rambunctious boys, Matilda is pregnant again. With the Dust Bowl raging, her husband's gambling and drinking increases. So does his temper. Matilda fears history will repeat itself. Does she have the gumption to leave her abusive husband before she loses another child?
Susie May, Thomas Sister #3
When another school board accuses her husband of misconduct, Susie is forced to pack up and move again—this time back home. The incessant rumors about the charismatic band director she married distress her, and stir her sons to rebellion. She's always been timid. She's always been a quiet, obedient wife. But how can she stay with such a broken man?
Jennie Rue, Thomas Sister #4
Jennie never dreamed she'd marry such an influential member of the community, much less a man with so much life experience. Yet despite their years together, a friend's marriage to an elderly widow for companionship and financial security revives Jennie's fear her husband's proposal was only for the sake of convenience not love. After all, she'd taken care of his first wife until her death and their two small children, and she'd been there to witness his grief. Does he really respect and love her? Or was she only the expedient caregiver necessary to look after his home and children?
Annie Crump, Thomas Sister #5
Precocious and fashionable Annie is fortunate to be married to a hardworking man, even if he'll never be the beloved fiancé she lost to illness years ago. Bartering for what his family needs in exchange for haircuts and shaves, Tommy desires to prove himself worthy of Annie's affection. But is their relationship strong enough to survive when secrets from his past threaten their home and livelihood during the worst ravages of the Dust Bowl?
