All the Forgivenesses

by Elizabeth Hardinger

At the dawn of the twentieth century in rural Kentucky, 15-year-old Albertina 'Bertie' Winslow navigates the challenges of farm life while learning harsh life lessons. Following her mother's illness and her father's negligence, she is thrust into premature motherhood, shouldering the responsibility for her younger siblings. As she struggles with the demands of her forced role and the burden of hidden family secrets, Bertie makes tough decisions, sacrificing for the survival of her family. She is propelled into an early marriage and moves to Kansas, where she grapples with past tragedies and seeks to find healing through confronting painful truths. 'All the Forgivenesses' is a tale of family, loss, and the pursuit of redemption, punctuated by the hope of unconditional love.
