Description

Sarah Miller's Marmee is a powerful and moving novel that explores the often-overlooked challenges faced by women during times of war and social change. In 1861, Margaret March finds herself shouldering the responsibility of caring for her four daughters alone, as her husband serves in the army. As she navigates the difficulties of poverty, illness, and personal secrets, Margaret must confront the consequences of a past mistake that has left her family's future uncertain. When a telegram summons her to Washington, D.C., Margaret is forced to leave behind her daily routine and face the reality of her daughter Beth's fragile health. As she struggles to balance her own needs with those of her family, Margaret must also confront the harsh realities of war and its impact on women like herself. A stunning portrait of a woman pushed to the brink, Marmee is a heart-wrenching exploration of love, sacrifice, and resilience.
