The asylum is one racking cough away.
Fourteen-year-old Motty knows what happens if her mother lets go- the children will be scattered, and Mary, who can't always follow what people say or why they're angry, will be sent away. She won't come back from that. Her father has gone to war. The cupboards are empty. And Motty, the oldest daughter, becomes the only thing holding the family together-working, bargaining, enduring-while Cincinnati empties of its men and fills with grief.
This is the war women fought. The one no one wrote down.
Inspired by a true story, Motty's Vow is for readers of Lisa Wingate and Kristin Hannah who love the home front story. Includes a Book Club Guide.
Available to library cardholders in Kenton County (KY), and Cincinnati/Hamilton County (OH) - the very communities where this story was lived.
