"It is 1916 and Roberta Jewett, independent and free-thinking , has returned from Boston with her three young daughters, full of hope for a fresh start in the seaside town where she was born and raised.  But in Camden, Maine, a woman divorced is a woman shunned - especially if she gets herself a job and drives a Model T Ford.
Condemned by her mother, harassed by her lecherous brother-in-law and scorned by the townsfolk, Roberta defies them all and perseveres in creating a happy, if unconventional household for her family."
