She struggles to survive in a biased society who frowns upon unwed mothers. Later a love affair with a married man results in another pregnancy. Ava learns life's difficult lessons the hard way in a realistic setting of early twentieth century in Boston, Massachusetts. Her alcoholic father intervenes to make her 'respectable" by arranging for her to marry an older Englishman in need of immigrant paperwork to stay in America.

This fast paced novel carries you on and on into its pages and plots as it examines interpersonal relationships with emotional past in an obscure labyrinth.

Trust me I wrote many manuscripts but never thought that they were good enough to publish. This is the first in a series that I am working on.
I feel like it was published and then was lost in the pandemic but now resurrected.
Hope you enjoy it!
