Reviews"This is a superb book, an absolutely indispensable book, which cuts through old debates about the family and helps put the whole subject on a new footing."--Christopher Lasch, New York Review of Books, "The book is heavy going, but worth the effort... [It] illustrates an important problem of modern society: our crises themselves have become socially useful."--Richard Sennett, New York Times Book Review, "Donzelot... [has] written a brilliant book on the intersection of society and family... [It] is an immensely rich book that needs to be studied carefully and read slowly. It is sure to place the social history of the past two centuries on an entirely new footing."--Mark Poster, American Journal of Sociology

SynopsisRide the hill dotted prairie with three independent women. Emma Delaney is doing fine on her own until her daughter decides to play matchmaker.

Lilly Clark is content with her choices until siding with an immigrant against prejudice puts her at odds with the whole town. Will each woman surrender when faith and love call to them?
