Born in Minneapolis, Marjorie Butter was a parlor girl--a member of the upper class. On a trip with her grandmother to Florida, she met and fell in love with Robert, a Postmaster, altering the course of her life forever. After returning home, Marjorie and Robert wrote each other often. Those letters would eventually find their way to the author of Hammock Bound, Marjorie's granddaughter. Combining those letters with stories told by her grandmother, Barbara Gaylor weaves together an exciting, enlightening, and historical account of her family's history, uniquely presenting it as a third-person narrative. The story continues as Marjorie moves to Florida to establish a life with Robert. Together, they build a house and raise a family, happy with the life they have chosen--not the one that was chosen for them. This is a story of love, bringing together two people from across the country. It is a story of adaptation, as a city girl quickly learns to be a farmer's wife. But perhaps most of all, it is the story of a life: a glimpse into the way things used to be, the hardships faced, and the happiness found.
