Overview

Every life has a turning point . . . this is hers. Rochester, New York, 1911: Helen O'Donnell is a lonely, awkward girl content with the quiet routines of her Irish Catholic home until the sudden death of her grandmother shatters the only life she's known. Her grandfather crumbles under grief, and Helen is placed under the control of her uncle, a strict Catholic priest determined to mold her into a demure, penitent young woman. Her world narrows, her voice is stifled, and her spirit begins to fade. But just as Helen feels herself disappearing, new voices call her back. A quiet circle of suffragists surrounds her with friendship, wisdom, and the fire of resistance, offering Helen the courage to imagine something more. In an era of sweeping change, Helen must decide: will she remain the girl she's always been, bound by duty and tradition, or will she fight to become the woman she was meant to be-no matter the cost? The Girl from Magnolia Street is a moving work of historical fiction about found family, buried truths, and the strength women inspire in one another. Fans of Sue Monk Kidd, Kristin Hannah, and Lisa Wingate will be swept away by this unforgettable coming-of-age story set against the fight for women's rights.
