Caleb Cleary's head is as bald and as smart as a turnip. He is a talented carpenter who imagines he is a beguiling story teller and a writer. He lives his entire life in a modest rural community where his mother's plan for her salvation is to shepherd her son to the priesthood, and where his wife, Teresa-of-the-Sorrows, aspires to martyrdom. His brother and business associate Ambrose, is an astute theorist, an amateur atheist and an ill-fated marriage partner.
Along with other characters, not unique at all, the Cleary families get through it all because of a relentless perseverance that is neither heroic nor noble. They grumble and sweat, and understand their solemn obligation to carry on. Ordinary people, ordinarily troubled, enjoying the consolations of endurance.
