Women's Fiction
The Mothers meets An American Marriage in this dazzling
debut novel about mothers and daughters, identity and
family, and how the relationships that sustain you can also
be the ones that consume you. The Butler family has had their share of trials—as sisters
Althea, Viola, and Lillian can attest—but nothing prepared
them for the literal trial that will upend their lives. Althea, the eldest sister and substitute matriarch, is a
force to be reckoned with and her younger sisters have
alternately appreciated and chafed at her strong will. They
are as stunned as the rest of the small community when she
and her husband Proctor are arrested, and in a heartbeat the
family goes from one of the most respected in town to utter
disgrace. The worst part is, not even her sisters are sure
exactly what happened. As Althea awaits her fate, Lillian and Viola must come
together in the house they grew up in to care for their
sister’s teenage daughters. What unfolds is a stunning
portrait of the heart and core of an American family in a
story that is as page-turning as it is important.
