Abstract:
He loves cars – she loves him - they love life together. But their life is changing fast – too fast. The man inside the man – Jake - wants freedom, excitement and danger. The woman inside the woman – Mary Lou - wants peace, happiness and security. The tried and true ways they learned growing up are melting away, as the whole world around them begins to upset their lifestyle with new, surprising turns. Fun, sex, success, pride, infidelity, disappointment – they all happen as Jake and Mary Lou’s small town turns into a little city, and their family grows to watch the way of the South become more like the way of the Yankees. It all happens between the two world wars.
