Excerpt from Mildred's Married Life, and a Winter With Elsie Dinsmore: A Sequel to Mildred and Elsie "O married love! each heart shall own, Where two congenial souls unite, Thy golden chains inlaid with down, Thy lamp with heavens own splendor bright." - Langhorne. What a happy winter that was! - the first of Mildred's married life. Her cup of bliss seemed full to overflowing. She was very proud of her husband, and not without reason, for his was a noble character; he was a man of sterling worth, lofty aims, cultivated mind, and polished address. They were a pair of lovers who grew more and more enamored of each other day by day as the weeks and months rolled on.

In Mildred Pierce, noir master James M. Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devasting emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable. Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter.

The Landreths and their relatives survive the horrors of the civil war.
