Katherine Cope is twenty-seven years old and is striking out on her own. The year is 1914 and she is a New Woman, a woman of modern ideas and modern times. Told through the eyes of her mother, Lucy Cope, The Ground-Swell reflects the age-old conflict of mothers and daughters balancing the generational divide, and tells of one mother's struggles to accept the ground-swells of early 20th century America.
