Synopsis

"A quiet masterpiece of domestic narrative . . . with dramatic tension from beginning to end. Breeden-Ost's ear for dialog is uncanny, her psychological sense deep."--James Alexander Thom, author of Follow the River

"The most beautiful book I have read in some time. A multi-layered examination of … the meaning of love and forgiveness. The characters are flawlessly written, …intensely human."—Sallyann J. Murphey, author of Bean Blossom Dreams

May Dixon has never met a problem she couldn't solve--signs of her "tinkering" are all over her late-1940s Indiana farm--but she never thought she'd be inventing a whole new kind of family. Faced with losing her husband, May pulls herself together and comes up with a plan. "People think it's crazy to shell peas with a clothes-wringer, too," she tells herself. "But it works."Alive with the sensory detail of a mid-century farm household, from the golden glow of home-canned peaches to the sweat of the tobacco harvest, this evocative novel explores complex truths of family, friendship, community, and the past. MAKING IT ALL RIGHT is a story of what can--and can't--be accomplished with ingenuity, determination, and love.

À propos de l'auteur

Judging from her baby pictures, Denise Breeden-Ost has been listening intently all her life. She has also edited and proofread books, built her own house from scratch, raised a child, co-run a market farm, and facilitated writing circles for women and children. When she isn't writing, she can often be found making cornbread. Denise lives on a ridgetop in south-central Indiana, with a small family, a large garden, and innumerable trees.
