That Was Tomorrow is a historical novel of a young woman coming of age in specific place, with a dash of romance, sex, and violence, making it uniquely appealing in the 21st century. With overtones of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn it transports the reader to a simpler time, and like Loving Frank it tells the story of a young woman finding herself through romance and personal exploration. That Was Tomorrow is a window on a distant time in which people banded together in remote places with plans of creating a better society and a better world.
