About the Book

Chuck is the scion of a wealthy, Catholic family in the agricultural business of the California's fertile Sacramento Valley. His goal in life is the gratification of his pleasures.

The story begins when Chuck's father dies in the summer preceding the infamy of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Chuck acquires his first wife when her fianceé leaves to become an officer in the Air Corps and Chuck remains home to manage his mother's ranches. They beget five children.

He rebels at his mother's control over his mismanagement of her ranches' operations and consoles himself with a paramour whose husband physically assaults him. Chuck becomes a bigamist when he marries his second wife in a shotgun marriage and becomes the father of his sixth child. This second wife has a fatal accident while in Hawaii with Chuck. His third wife becomes his widow when he has a fatal accident while hunting with his ex-in-laws.

Chuck's women and children eventually overcome the effect that his lies and deceit have had upon them.
