Night Shift by Maritta Wolff
Set in the Midwest during World War II, Night Shift follows Sally Otis, a waitress who supports three children and a jobless younger sister while her bills mount. Her resolve begins to crumble when her swaggering older sister Petey Braun appears with furs, jewels, and tales of exotic trips. Petey, a woman who makes a career of men, takes a job at a glamorous, rowdy local nightclub, an event that will forever change the struggling Otis family.
