Synopsis

“A glad affirmation that love can accomplish the impossible.” — Chicago Tribune

A timeless classic from Betty Smith--author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, one of the most beloved novels of the past century. Joy is the Morning is an unsentimental yet radiant and powerfully uplifting story of young hearts and marriage.

Though only eighteen, Annie travels alone halfway across the country to the Midwestern university where Carl is studying law--and there they marry.
