Evelynne's story begins with her years growing up in Washington State (Indianola), from the Roaring Twenties decade through the Great Depression. It chronicles her adventures in the Navy WAVES during WWII and then her life as a mom and working-woman during the Cold War through the years of the Vietnam War. The reader gets a glimpse of life in 20th Century America from the perspective of the Baby Boomer author.
