Raised according to the stern virtues of her pioneer ancestors, Hagar Shipley leads a life of uncompromising pride. As her story unfolds we are given descriptions of Hagar as a young girl in a remote prairie town; of her now estranged husband; of John, her outgoing son; and Marvin, the son she never loved. And now, with her life nearly behind her, Hagar makes a bold, last step towards freedom and independence, and in the process gains a deeper understanding of the meaning of acceptance.
