The Dollmaker
Harriette Arnow
A big woman, Gertie Nevels is uprooted from her Kentucky hills and thrust into the confusion of wartime Detroit. There, against the sudden, harsh impact of a big city, she and her family struggle to retain the independence that is their heritage—a struggle that ends in triumph in a unique way through Gertie's courage and innocence of spirit.
