When Bruce was named U.S. Ambassador to France, Tish became social secretary to him and his wife Evangeline. In 1951 she worked briefly for the CIA on "a lot of secret stuff."

The place stands almost deserted amid urban rubble, one of the few survivors of a highway plan that went nowhere. In it live Julie, Jack, Sue and Tom, a reasonably normal array of siblings ranging in age from 17 to six, and their mother, who is dying.
