Publisher's Synopsis
John Winslade works with Ally, a woman currently in graduate school and engaged to be married. Ally feels as if she is not 'measuring up' financially in her relationship with her fiancé. She feels guilty that her fiancé works long hours as a firefighter and brings in more money than she does. Winslade explores both cultural and family expectations with Ally to get a better sense of why she feels the way she does. The notion of equality - on all levels - is powerfully ingrained with how Ally views marriage.
