Bound to a man whose judgments threaten disaster if not calamity, denied a love she dares not contemplate, Mary Beth lends her strength and resourcefulness toward carrying her family through the life-changing times of prohibition and the Great Depression. In a world fully controlled by men, Mary Beth, and the servant-class women around her, allow new and different choices for Joyce and her future. Yet Joyce too is constrained, by society's expectations, and even more powerfully, her own sense of duty and obligation. And then Amelia is born... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow these women endure, innovate, and support one another to overcome the circumstances of their lives is the deeply affecting, flesh and blood story in Homestead, a lyrically beautiful homage to the strength and resiliency of women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shelia Ortiz-Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935226509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935226505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spinsters Ink Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Langum Prize for Historical Literature - Notable","brand":"Shelia Ortiz-Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937571766527,"sku":"9781935226505","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61159b54-a133-4682-97ee-57adf6f4b400.jpg?v=1681430850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homestead-shelia-ortiz-taylor-9781935226505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
