Oh, here's the Megan Chance I love!
Rosemary Chivers is haunted by the choices she made as a teenager. She's now teaching at a school for troubled girls, where she challenges the outdated curriculum. Rosemary is also holding a devastating secret. One of the troubled girls is the baby she was forced to give up for adoption 16 years ago.
In an attempt to discover which child is hers, she forms an unsanctioned school group with three girls who would be the same age as her daughter. But these are no ordinary girls, and what begins as an effort to bring closure to her own rebellious youth soon spirals dangerously out of control.
------
This book is fantastic. It's set in the 1950s, where abortion is illegal, and expressions of independent lifestyles are discouraged. It's very atmospheric and really draws the reader in.
Megan Chance is one of my favorite authors, but her last two novels, A Splendid Ruin and A Drop of Ink were underwhelming to me and didn't reflect the talent shown in her earlier books. She brought it with this one. Well worth the read! 👍👍
