“Betty”
FIC MCDANI
Betty, is a truly stunning novel that follows the life of young Betty Carpenter through her own writing as she struggles with her brutal family history. Set in the impoverished, but naturally beautiful foothills of the Ohio Appalachians, and inspired by the brave women in McDaniel’s own family, Betty’s story is not one you will soon forget. You will be captivated and inspired by the lyrical prose that weaves poetry, folklore, newspaper stories, and scripture into her devastating story.
