The path to progress is never smooth.

Winkler is changing from a company-owned town to one with new private homes and businesses. Among these are a hospital, a newspaper, a movie theater, and the Eat and Sleep, now owned by May Rose and her husband, Barlow. But just as the town seems to be moving forward, May Rose's eyes are opened to unjust practices she's never thought about.

To do what's right, she'll need the solidarity of friends both old and new.

The Meaning of Us is the eighth book in the Mountain Women Series, bringing to life the struggles, triumphs, friendships and loves of women in a small West Virginia town in the early 1900s.
