A Respectable Woman

By Michelle T. Clemens

Inspired by true events.In a world where a woman's worth is measured by her obedience, Ann has always played her part - quiet, dutiful, invisible. The perfect wife.Until she becomes a widow. Now her brother-in-law wants her gone - off the island, out of the family business, and separated from her sons. Determined to keep what remains of her life intact, Ann refuses to disappear. Instead, she steps into a future she was never meant to claim. With the help of an unlikely circle of allies, Ann fights to free her son from Mount Cashel Orphanage and build a new life in wartime St. John's. At her side is Maureen, her fierce and cunning sister-in-law, a woman betrayed by her own family and driven to reclaim what is rightfully hers.Together, they face a ruthless enemy - the very family that seeks to control them - and discover a strength neither knew they possessed.A resonant story of courage, loyalty, and defiance, A Respectable Woman asks: how far will a woman go to claim her life - and who decides what makes her respectable?
