Betty
Tiffany McDanielA stunning, lyrical novel set in the rolling foothills of the Appalachians in which a young girl discovers stark truths that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
“The book is rich with the texture of everyday living. It’s these details that sing Betty to life and bring readers fully into the Appalachian landscape and the social milieu of Breathed.” - The Los Angeles Times
So begins the story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings: the world they inhabit in the rural town of Breathed, Ohio, is one of poverty and loss, of lush landscapes and blazing stars.
Despite the hardships she encounters, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters and her father's brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all to which she bears witness - the horrors of her family's past and present - Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write.
"There are moments when the prose becomes kitschy... And sometimes whatever it is McDaniel is trying to express is overwhelmed by strenuously artful language... Nevertheless, Betty is a compelling protagonist, character readers may be willing to follow through clichés, hothouse prose, and depictions of tremendous violence. Lyrically brutal." - Kirkus Reviews
Inspired by the life of her own mother, Tiffany McDaniel sets out to free the past by telling this heartbreaking yet magical story - a remarkable novel that establishes her as one of the freshest and most important voices in American fiction.
