THE STORY: Picking up a year after the ending of Arlene Hutton's critically acclaimed Last Train to Nibroc, this tender and funny sequel follows May and Raleigh through the end of World War II and introduces the characters of their two mothers-in-law. A medical condition keeps Raleigh from military service, and he is forced to sit idly on the porch, watching the cars drive by, as May supports them both as a high-school principal. Faced with daily rejection letters for his writing, constant criticism from his mother and taunts of cowardice from townspeople, Raleigh fights to find meaning in his new life. When tragedy strikes the family and May loses her job to returning soldiers, she discovers she must make an unimaginable sacrifice to save her relationship with Raleigh. This tender portrayal of married life, set against the backdrop of World War II, shows the best of the human spirit and its ability to overcome any and all obstacles.
Cast:
Raleigh: M, 20s. An engaging aspiring writer from a small town whose epilepsy has led to many disappointments. After a rocky courtship he’s married May, but the frustration over being kept out of the war eats at him.
May: F, 20s. A young woman from an extremely religious background who struggles to persist in the face of Raleigh's unconventionality and health problems. She supports them as a schoolteacher but wants Raleigh to pursue his dream of writing.
Mrs. Gill: F, 40s-50s May’s mother, a good-hearted woman from a prosperous family who tries to keep peace among her family during the war. Both her husband and son are causes of worry, and her positivity will be sorely tested by tragedy.
Mrs. Brummer: F, 40s-50s Raleigh’s mother, a sour, negative farm woman whose husband is disabled and who is ashamed of Raleigh’s disability. She runs their sharecrop farm and never gives up, but always takes a dim view of things
