In the early 1900s, Lizzie and her sister Marmie are living in the steel towns along the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After losing their mother at  a young age, both aspire to be lifelong mothers and begin a legacy of their own. While Marmie successfully marries and begins to bear several children, Lizzie is caught in an unfruitful marriage, and her husband’s deception about his actions in the military comes to light, showing a future where they would never together bear children.

Angry, frustrated, and longing for a family, Lizzie suffers through a long divorce process, falls in love, and is scorned by her new lover. As despair grows, Lizzie becomes lost in a sea of doubt and takes desperate actions to rid herself of her lot in life.

Lizzie’s Brass Buttons and Babies is a story about life in the steel city, a tumultuous time for steel workers and the nation as a whole with the rise of Prohibition, World Wars, and the Great Depression. Based on James E. Makin’s true family history, Lizzie’s story is a dive into the past and into the lives of our ancestors.

Sleek and classy loafer
Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Was skeptical on this purchase but I have to say, well worth it. Not super expensive but very comfortable. Wears well for summer dress attire for taking your lady out for a dinner or show. Casual yet classy. Not a bad buy.

Great Step In Shoe
Size: 11, Color: Cognac
For people (like me) that have physical and/or medical issues that makes it difficult to bend over to put shoes on, or even to just tie shoes, these shoes make that process so much easier! I have been wearing similar "step in" shoes from another manufacturer (Kizix) that has stopped making leather shoes that are more stylish and business like, similar to this. I haven't tried to polish them yet, but I assume that they will shine up just fine - and they look good now, with a great finish. The sole of the shoe is a solid rubber and I don't slip when I am wearing these, and I am quite impressed by their quality. I look forward to getting another style soon.

Great buy
Color: A-white Flowers Bf290, Size: Large
This shirt is so soft and comfortable. I went with a large, though my recommended size was an xl. I'm so glad that I read the other reviews and went with large, as this is the perfect size for me. Also, with the right color bra, I don't need an undershirt with this. Which is especially nice considering I wanted a nice, light spring/summer top. I also think that it could easily be dressed up or down depending on what it is paired with. Definitely worth the purchase.

Beautiful top.
Color: B-turquoise, Size: X-Large
Love this top. Lightweight and soft. Very comfortable. I’m 5’7” and 180 lbs. and I got the XL. I don’t like clingy clothes and this fits perfect. Easy to dress up or down. Would buy again.
