"Gap Creek" is the story of a hardworking young girl named Julie who has struggled most of her life. She loses her younger brother to illness at a young age. She meets a man named Hank and they marry very quickly. Together they move to a house owned by Mr. Pendergrast, who lets Julie and Hank live with him in exchange for household chores and meals. Julie works just as hard in her marriage as she does with everything else. She struggles with money (an incident of getting swindled by a lawyer imposter sets her back), family, and pregnancy. | ||
