The asylum is one racking cough away.

Fourteen-year-old Motty knows what happens if her mother lets go — the children will be separated, and Mary, who can't always follow what people say or why they're angry, will be sent to the asylum. She won't come back from that.

Her father's gone to war. The cupboards are empty.

Motty will do whatever it takes to keep them together. She just doesn't know yet what it costs.

Motty's Vow — Civil War historical fiction inspired by a true story. A girl. Her siblings. The price of keeping them together.

For fans of Lisa Wingate and Kristin Hannah.

Includes a Book Club Guide with discussion questions and historical background.

Available to library cardholders in Phoenix, Kenton County (KY), and Cincinnati/Hamilton County (OH) — the very communities where this story was lived.
