After her mother’s death\, Mae is determined to live a different kind of life. But over the next half-century\, as she reinvents herself against the backdrop of the Depression and Second World War\, and pursues stability amid the personal upheavals of marriage and motherhood\, she must reckon with the choices she’s made and life’s inexorable turns.For readers of Zorrie by Laird Hunt\, The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermott\, and The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant\, Wild Aster explores the price of security\, the drive to be a different mother than your own\, and the daily gains and losses that define who we become. Ultimately\, Mae’s story challenges us to confront the choices we make for personal fulfillment and family obligation and the perseverance that even a seemingly ordinary life demands.Wild Aster will be out with Bloomsbury December 1\, 2026.
