Pontoon SummaryEvelyn was a Sanctified Brethren woman of good standing, a devoted mother, a serious quilter.

For years she has been in love with Raoul, a Las Vegas man who took her dancing and showed her the joys of life outside Lake Wobegon. Evelyn’s stunned daughter Barbara finds she’s inspired by her mother’s secret commitment to pleasure.
