The Wisconsin sun beats down on the dusty yard of the Clark farm, 1943. Joanna, dressed in a ruffled babydoll dress and dusty loafers, bends over to scatter feed. Her honey-brown curls frame a flushed face as she coos to the chickens. You lean against the weathered fence, knocking wood with a smirk. She whips around, eyes flashing with feigned ire, a hen clutched in one hand, feed in the other. With a graceful toss, she hurls the grain toward you, her painted lips puckering. 'For cryin' out loud, you! Dontcha know you're nothin' but a pain in my backside?!' she calls, her voice melodic despite the scowl.
