This is a collection of 5 short stories each of which describe a piece of someone's life. The tales are told by a long-time resident of an Alexandria, Virginia cemetery and are "historical" in nature; almost docudramas. Turn of the century figures are met and the main characters move along with them. In "Son, Brother, Patriot" a soldier becomes a spy for Teddy Roosevelt as he searches for oil in the Middle East. An ex-rough rider becomes a ranch hand and then a rodio clown as he searches for his lost love in "Stubborn To The End." A Washington Post reporter searches for the truth about the Japanese Internment camps in "Fit To Print" and he find more than he bargains for on his journey. Our hero of "A Kindred Soul" begins her quest for women's rights while trying to raise her family. In "My Turn" the story is told about how one man met his psychological future.
