...Heart And My Flesh" has as its scene a Kentucky village. Its characters are the inhabitants of that village-people of strange ancestries, of dark longings. The central figure, more acted upon than acting, is one Theodosia Bell, born of a lustful father and a pallid mother.

Destroyer Division 39 sailed into strange ports- Odessa, Theodosia, Novorossiisk, Samsun and Smyrna-helping the American Relief in Russia, carrying refugees from the smoking ruins of Turco-Grecian war. Their keels have not left the water, their crews have not left their posts. But like Odysseus, at last they shall come home...
