A MAN CALLED SMITH - Paperback

Bernice gets what she wants. What it costs everyone else is another story.

South Dakota, 1949. WWII veteran John Smith has already buried the great love of his life. Grieving, overwhelmed, and desperate to keep his two small children fed and clothed, he remarries — certain this is where his luck finally turns. It isn't. Tormented by grief and the weight of war, John stops looking closely at what's happening inside his own home.

Washington State, 1964. Sixteen-year-old Calla runs the household her stepmother won't. She cooks, cleans, and raises her younger siblings on a list of chores longer than she is tall — counting the days until she's old enough for college and out for good. Then the college fund disappears. And so does her way out.

John has spent fifteen years not looking. Calla has spent her whole life waiting for him to. Now there's no more time left for either of them.

Some costs don't come due until it's too late to pay them. A Man Called Smith is a quietly devastating women's historical fiction saga that asks: what if it isn't the choices we make, but the ones we're too afraid to, that decide everything?
