This book tackled motherhood, justice, and how neither of those things is as black and white as you may think. All the characters had some morally gray moments - some more the others and it made you think about what you would do in that situation.
The world is complex and so is this book - even in the early 1900s especially for women. Susan Meissner continues to be an auto-read author and I love falling down the rabbit hole of her books.
Moderate: Miscarriage and Death of parent
Minor: Child abuse, Child death, Forced institutionalization, and Misogyny
