We were young, We were stupid, We were in love and it was beautiful

Born in 1905, Alabama is baby number 10 of a large family. She learns about life, and especially love, when she meets Jackson Marshall: a too good-looking widower who has inherited his deceased wife's property. They have some ups and downs, and fight the challenges of the Great Depression. Author's notes: I do not describe Alabama's features. I leave that up to the reader to decide what she looks like.
