Connie Schultz has two non-fiction Books to her credit, but “The Daughters of Erietown” is her first journey into fiction. Her story begins in Ohio in the mid-1950s, with sweethearts Brick and Ellie. They both plan to go to college, but those plans change when Ellie discovers she is pregnant. The couple decide to build a family.
The story moves ahead 20 years, and they have a daughter, Samantha, whom they want to go to college. When she is offered a scholarship to Smith College, they force her to turn it down. Smith does not accept males into its undergraduate courses, only as post-graduate students.
The book explores changes in women's roles in society, the frustration that arises when desires are unmet and dreams put on hold. One review said:
“This is a big, deep, warm, and moving story of unforgettable women who make and shape their families.”
