Commitment
Once again, bestselling author Julie Ellis enchants readers with a spellbinding novel that sweeps across the decades and into the heart of a remarkable woman...

Carol Simon is nine years old when the Stock Market Crash of '29 plunges the nation into depression--and shatters Carol's young life. Overnight, this child of wealth and privilege is thrust into a world of hardship and struggle.

But through all the harsh years of deprivation, Carol lives for only one dream: to become an architect. After being forced into a loveless marriage that leaves her a widow at seventeen, she finally claims her niche in Manhattan's Greenwich Village--and finds love with a brilliant, mercurial playwright.

From World War II through the McCarthy Era and beyond, from New York to the rapidly changing new South, Carol struggles to forge a future in a man's field and to hold onto her dreams...dreams she will see carried into the future...passionate dreams of courage, commitment and love.

A saga that tells a woman's story as only Julie Ellis can...painted on a broad canvas with stunning authenticity, passionate intensity, and peopled with characters you'll never forget.
