Mary Kay Beull has four children, the eldest of whom treats her with increasing hostility as she develops a friendship with Phil Garrett, a school teacher.

Sandy Lawton was wed just two weeks before her lieutenant husband went off to Vietnam.
The three women travel to Paris together to attend a Vietnam peace conference.
