Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Picking up ten years after The Future Homemakers of America left off, The Early Birds follows Peggy, Kath, Gayle, Lois and Audrey through the turn of the twenty- first century. The women are now in their seventies and time is rendering its Accounts Payable: arthritis, cataracts, forgetfulness and departures. From the dawn of the new millennium - at which the anti-Christ unaccountably fails to appear, despite evangelist Gayle's predictions - Peggy soldiers on through new upheavals, including her ex-husband Vern's Alzheimer's diagnosis, and the death of one of her live-in friends. Then, on a clear blue day in September 2001, the US Air Force scrambles too late to save America from four hostile attacks, and for the first time Peggy wonders if being a USAF wife - the constant worry about your husband, the faraway postings in Alaska, Norfolk, Siberia, the lack of control over your own life - was worth it."--Publisher description.

"Picking up ten years after The Future Homemakers of
America left off, The Early Birds follows Peggy, Kath,
Gayle, Lois and Audrey through the turn of the twenty-
first century. The women are now in their seventies and
time is rendering its Accounts Payable: arthritis,
cataracts, forgetfulness and departures. From the dawn of
the new millennium - at which the anti-Christ
unaccountably fails to appear, despite evangelist Gayle's
predictions - Peggy soldiers on through new upheavals,
including her ex-husband Vern's Alzheimer's diagnosis, and
the death of one of her live-in friends. Then, on a clear
blue day in September 2001, the US Air Force scrambles too
late to save America from four hostile attacks, and for
the first time Peggy wonders if being a USAF wife - the
constant worry about your husband, the faraway postings in
Alaska, Norfolk, Siberia, the lack of control over your
own life - was worth it."--Publisher description.
