Title: A family trust
Description: "With A Family Trust, Ward Just turns his attention to America in the middle of the last century and unveils a wise, sophisticated, and humane novel built on a grand scale. Three generations of a Midwestern newspapering family struggle with their family legacy, their own ambitions, and each other as the century rolls on.".

"The passing of Amos Rising, town elder and editor of The Dement Intelligencer, leaves the Rising family without its patriarch and the town with a hole in its center. The ambitions and talents of the Risings, the changing face of the town and the life of the spirited, attractive, and intelligent Dana Rising fill the pages of this extraordinary novel. Ward Just's A Family Trust is about the public face and private souls of America's Heartland."--BOOK JACKET.
