From Publishers Weekly
Two sisters born into a military family dream of West Point weddings: Louise devotes herself to a husband who eventually becomes a general while Marynell marries an officer/widower whose ambitions lie outside the military. "Although soapy at times, at its best this bulky novel possesses an entertaining immediacy," said PW.

Vivacious Marynell Rodgers cannot comprehend how her shy, younger sister Louise has managed to attract and marry Franklin Cravens--West Point's top graduate of the Class of 1938. Daughters of an Army medical doctor, Louise and Marynell have grown up on Army bases and never entertained the thought of any other kind of life. After being badly hurt by a man, Marynell eventually marries a gentle, widowed Army captain, and the two sisters settle down to raise their respective families. Through the turmoil of three wars the bonds between the women strengthen, although there are moments of anger, jealousy, and misunderstanding. This is a well-told tale of an extended military family, with finely drawn characters and plausible situations. Recommended as diverting reading.
