|  | Remembering Laughter by Mary Stegner, Wallace Stegner
Margaret and Alec Stuart have a happy marriage despite Alec's reliance on the bottle. When Margaret's sister comes to stay with them and falls in love with their thriving Iowa farm, things change, and Margaret finds herself tested by a cruel series of events. Stegner wrote REMEMBERING LAUGHTER in response to a 1936 Little, Brown contest offering $2500 for an original novelette. He won the contest with this story, based on a reminiscence by his wife of her two aunts back in Iowa. It also owes a debt to Edith Wharton's ETHAN FROME. This was Stegner's first published work.
