In the early 1900s, Lizzie and her sister Marmie are living in the steel towns along the Monongahela River near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After losing their mother at  a young age, both aspire to be lifelong mothers and begin a legacy of their own. While Marmie successfully marries and begins to bear several children, Lizzie is caught in an unfruitful marriage, and her husband’s deception about his actions in the military comes to light, showing a future where they would never together bear children.

Angry, frustrated, and longing for a family, Lizzie suffers through a long divorce process, falls in love, and is scorned by her new lover. As despair grows, Lizzie becomes lost in a sea of doubt and takes desperate actions to rid herself of her lot in life.

Lizzie’s Brass Buttons and Babies is a story about life in the steel city, a tumultuous time for steel workers and the nation as a whole with the rise of Prohibition, World Wars, and the Great Depression. Based on James E. Makin’s true family history, Lizzie’s story is a dive into the past and into the lives of our ancestors.
