Step back to 1973 – Soul Train, Watergate, Disney World – when two recent newcomers to the U.S. meet by chance in the supermarket just before Thanksgiving. While their medical-resident husbands work through the night, the young women share stories about their new lives … and how to cook a frozen turkey. Filled with heart and humor, The Heart Sellers explores what it takes to make a new home.
