"Elizabeth Ring is a young woman in Ohio. She is a daughter, a sister, and will in all likelihood one day be a wife. She is also a firebrand, an iconoclast, a perfectionist, an artist, and a woman on the verge of addiction. The first few years of her adulthood form the basis of this thesis, in the form of a novel, intended as part of a longer work." -- Abstract
