THE TEST OF TIME is a human tale about a fictional woman possessing no less emotion than a real-life person living through the decades of the '30s to the '70s. This faux biography follows the literary tradition of extracting the essence-the charm and drama, the historical and philosophical meaning-of the character's life. Four themes weave through this work: Birth-Betty's real mother gives her up to the socially-prominent wife of her father. Repeating this birth-mother role for her English lover, Betty feels torn between a perceived obligation to her aging father and her own moral obligation. War-Three generations of a family are caught up in the philosophical arguments for and against The Great War, World War II and Vietnam. Marriage-Under the duress of wartime, Betty's father and then Betty jump into hasty marriages only to witness the moral decay of their respective spouses. Money-Betty's father's inventiveness and her deportment challenge the envelope of business ethics.
