Character Summary

The Brookes and Carters have little in common except the title to The Rockford - a mail-order house delivered for construction in the university town of Carrington, c. 1929. Yet, despite provincial class or ethnic origins, both families dig into a shared legacy, daring to believe that individual liberty desperately matters if they can keep it.
