Widow's Peak is the story of a woman brought into the world in the Roaring Twenties, raised in the depths of the Great Depression, who came of age as World War II raged and who grew up and matured during the greatest peacetime boom in the nation's history. It offers glimpses into the history of Detroit, Michigan during its years of prosperity. It is also the story of every woman. Elizabeth Radcliffe refused to be bound by the roles into which society had cast her. She learned and grew wiser with each passing day of her rich and full lifetime. She proved that no one is defeated until the game is finally over. And even if you're behind in the score as the final seconds tick off the clock, you emerge victorious when you fight to the end.
