Synopsis
Hope Wagner was taught to believe that virtuous women are happy and fulfilled as homemakers and mothers. But when her own mother dies giving birth to her eleventh child, fifteen-year-old Hope must take over raising and homeschooling her ten younger siblings while keeping her father's house. Despite what she's been taught, all Hope feels is exhaustion, frustration, and despair.
Meet Hope Wagner and her family two years before the events of Virtuous Women, Ann Goltz's moving debut novel.
