This story is a sweet look at a couple married for 5 years. It’s interesting that she writes about marriage. Ferber never married and had no children. She was known for being outspoken and having a quick wit. Once, after a man joked about how her suit made her resemble a man, she replied, "So does yours.” Although she never married, she is able to capture married life after 5 years pretty accurately in my opinion. Enjoy!
