A glamorous makeup compact found among her deceased mother's memorabilia sets the stage for this heartwarming love story of a young, single woman in Chicago as she waits for the man she loves, from the swinging thirties through the wartime years. Part biography and part historical fiction, the author re-imagines her mother's life by piecing together letters, fragments of remembered conversations, and historical documents. As the narrative unfolds, we get a glimpse of the story of her parents' immigration to America from Poland, and of her husband's bachelor days, when he was an ambitious young man with dreams of his own.
