title: Anna's Rocking Chair
author: Watson, Elaine
description: Of all possible problems, Susan never dreamed her marriage's bright future would be dimmed by so ordinary an object as Anna's rocking chair.
  
  SUSAN -- the ebullient young bride, unprepared for life amok superstition and struggle.
  
  ABE --strong and silent, living his love through concern and care.
  
  OLIVE -- trapped in a tragic--but prestigious-- life.
  
  JOSEPH -- born of nobility, tortured by weakness.
  
  This is a story of contrasts --good breeding and bad; superstition and logic; poverty and plenty; superior and inferior cultures; life and death. But bridging the gaps is finally accomplished through the deep and abiding love of man for woman, and of man of God.
