Synopsis
Ken Kimble is married three times: first, to Southern belle Birdie who becomes an alcoholic when he leaves her, then to a New York Jewish journalist named Joan who dies of cancer, then Dinah, a chef who used to babysit for the children of his first marriage. The details of each marriage, and the fates of each wife, provide the plot of this novel about a man who can't seem to commit.
