Adapted from Edna Ferber’s “Emma McChesney” stories
Divorced mother and “traveling salesman extraordinaire.” These are the roles that have defined Emma McChesney’s life. But with her son graduating from college, a new man taking charge at the Featherloom Petticoat Company, and her arch-rival spreading rumors that she’d do “anything for a sale,” Emma’s life is about to change in ways she never could have predicted.
