Abstract

This novel follows the collective journeys of three women: Rose, Emilia, and Hayden. Each of these three women’s paths cross in unique ways to assemble a story about womanhood, family, faith, and identity, as well as how each informs the other. This novel will explore the ways history can repeat itself within a family, the uphill battle of overcoming grief, and the strength of unconditional love. It will also demonstrate how our identities are always changing, and while how we grew up may be a factor in shaping our identity, we are much more than that. Most of all, it begs the question: What, exactly, makes a family?
