A restless young librarian marries a small-town doctor and moves with him to a prairie town, then spends years trying to drag its narrow life toward culture and reform, settling at last into an uneasy peace with it.

A girl on a hilltop; credulous, plastic, young; drinking the air as she longed to drink life. The eternal aching comedy of expectant youth.
Main Street, Sinclair Lewis

The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
