I'm not really sure what this book was about. Seems to be shorter story about a woman and her life. She grows up as an orphan with an abusive aunt and then moves to Ottawa and becomes a radium girl. Then she moves and marries the love of her life. She is pregnant and continues to use the radium powder. She loses the baby and her husband goes to serve and will wear too. He is killed. She continues on with the farm and her in-laws die. She has several friends that live around her and they passed away too. She makes a move to be with her neighbor but he rebuffs her. And in the end it seems like she is slowing down. A cute quaint little story.
