Read Now Download Now

A daughter tells the true story of her single mother in Rockwell-esque 1950s Wisconsin, struggling against poverty, abandonment, and small-town prejudices to secure a future for her children without losing herself.

Breaking the confines of the Midwest to travel the world as a nurse, she finds adventure and romance, but grace eludes her. Only in the joyful spaces between the pain of her son's death and her own multiple cancer diagnoses does she find redemption. Final peace comes under the care of her daughters amid surprising happiness and startling secrets as she unburdens herself in her last days.

Betty tells of an unconventional woman from a conventional place, unable to rise above life's messiness, but stoically wading through it. It's the story of an equally unconventional love that binds a family together and expresses itself in joy, grief, and shared revelation.
