In a New England lumber town, Harry Lambert leads a predictable, sometimes dull life as a lumber company executive, a routine that feels more suffocating after his defeat in the town mayoral race. The neighborly backdrop includes Mayor Crane, the man who bested him, adding a quiet note of rivalry to the everyday.

At home, he shares a house with his wife Edith Lambert, their adult daughter Kate Clinton, and Kate’s husband Charlie Clinton, who has grown into a freeloader figure who works at the lumber mill rather than taking responsibility.

Edith begins experiencing unexplained fatigue, and a friend, Grace, persuades her to visit a doctor. The examination with Dr. Kimbrough reveals a startling fact: Edith is pregnant. The news ripples through the family, and Kate reveals she wishes for such news herself, while pressing her husband Charlie Clinton to make it happen, despite his difficulties.

[Harry Lambert] is frank about his aging and his reluctance to become a father again. In his sixties, he frets that the baby will reach adulthood long after he is gone, a worry that stings with both humor and fear. He also voices irritation with Edith’s spending, tensions that intensify after a miscalculated prank by him and [Charlie Clinton] leads to a costly mistake: the loss of a lumber supply contract for a new stadium.

As the pregnancy progresses, Edith announces she plans to leave for Boston to have the baby on her own. The family reacts with a mix of concern and resolve: Harry pursues Edith to bring her back, while Charlie Clinton finally proves his value by reclaiming the stadium contract, tightening the knot of loyalties, apologies, and reconciliations that the tale traces.
