Synopsis: A woman from Liverpool with an enormous talent for painting and a huge love of cats decides to go to Bakersfield California and become the wife of a farmer, even though she is very young. She meets another young woman, another artist like herself, who creates Chinese calligraphy art. At first, she doesn’t tell her husband because her father destroyed all of her paintings when she was a child, but when she does, he becomes very proud of her, but suddenly disappears for several days and she gets worried.
Ruth had her baby,
Amy said as she looked up from the letter she was reading.
Now tell me again, who is Ruth,
her groom of five months asked as he poured himself a cup of tea. He had never had tea before the arrival of his English bride and he quite liked it.
Oh Abe! You met her in New York the day I arrived. She was on the ship with me. She was going to Montana or somewhere like that. Don’t you remember?
Vaguely. But I was concentrating on you and how young you looked for your age.
Well anyway, she had a baby.
Good for her. And when might we be doing the same? We’re not getting any younger you know. I need an heir. Who is going to run the farm? America needs its vegetables. Man does not live by bread alone you know. Nor does America.
Amy ran her seventeen-year-old hands through her fiery red locks and ignored his question. Abe was thirty-three years old; a full five years older than the marriage broker had led her to believe. She knew from the photograph the broker had shown her that he was lying about Abe’s age or Abe had experienced a very rough twenty-seven years of life.
She knew but didn’t care - she had lied about her age as well. A girl had to be eighteen in order to be a bride. But she was desperate to leave Liverpool and her family. She was little more than a charwoman to them - the curse of being the youngest of eight brothers and sisters, and a girl at that. Another year of that life and she would start to look like her mother -- old before her time with too many babies in far too quick a time.
It all could very well have been different if her father wasn’t so much with the drink. But he seldom worked, or was seldom in any condition to work, leaving it to her mother to provide for the family. Amy had several friends from large families, but their fathers all had good employment - as a result their lives were considerably different. But as for her – well - a future in Liverpool did not appeal.
Life was good here. Abe owned a large vegetable farm and did well for himself, and by extension – for Amy. But he was quite obsessed about having children. Amy was mildly curious as to how a successful man such as Abe could reach almost forty years of age and not have married and had children. But she gave it only passing consideration. What had gotten him to this point in his life was none of her concern. And her past was none of his.
As for children, well she was just far too young to be thinking about that. She wanted to live a little. She had never been out of Liverpool until
