Women Who Die Less Vertically –  Coming Soon!

About the book:

Born in the South, Alice Smith grew up in a house dominated by two women, her grandmother, Lillian, and her mother, Ginny.  Steeped in Southern manners and propriety, always dependent on her mother and grandmother, twenty-three year old Alice struggles with loneliness and grief after her mother’s death.  Living by herself in her grandmother’s house, grieving for her mother while surrounded by memories of her mother and grandmother, Alice is shocked when she comes across a passage in a diary Ginny kept when she was seventeen years old that suggests her mother was pregnant while a senior in high school.

It’s not until Alice discovers the truth about her mother that she realizes that kinship is a web—we all rely on it, we’re all caught in it, we all feed off it and want to be free of it.  What entraps us though may not be what we think…what we think may be what entraps us.

Coming Soon!
