Hidden desires, long-held secrets, and the sacrifices people make for family are at the heart of this powerful first novel by the popular Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
“A moving, unforgettable story about time, progress, and how the mistakes of one generation get repeated or repaired by the next.” (J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times best-selling author of Saints for All Occasions)
Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post and New York Post
1957, Clayton Valley, Ohio. Ellie has the best grades in her class. Her dream is to go to nursing school and marry Brick McGinty. A basketball star, Brick has the chance to escape his abusive father and become the first person in his blue-collar family to attend college. But when Ellie learns that she is pregnant, everything changes. Just as Brick and Ellie revise their plans and build a family, a knock on the front door threatens to destroy their lives.
The evolution of women’s lives spanning the second half of the 20th century is at the center of this beautiful novel that richly portrays how much people know - and pretend not to know - about the secrets at the heart of a town, and a family.

Critic reviews
"Connie Schultz’s The Daughters of Erietown is a quiet force of a novel. It crept up on me, much the same way that time creeps up on these characters. I was struck by how well Schultz portrays a full life - childhood to old age - and all the small moments that shape us, for better or for worse. Its ambitious scope will leave readers wanting to curl up with it until they’ve finished." (Mary Beth Keane, New York Times best-selling author of Ask Again, Yes)
"This is a big, deep, warm, and moving story of unforgettable women who make and shape their families. With the eye and ear of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and the insight and language of a born storyteller, Schultz immerses us in The Daughters of Erietown, from love to loss and back." (Amy Bloom, New York Times best-selling author of White Houses)

Listening to the audiobook was a wicked indulgence and the narrator did an excellent job, voicing the characters consistently and making clear their feelings.
I usually don't like books that go down a path and then loop back in time to pick up another path and all the while thinking "what's the point? ". i did not have that experience with this book, although listening rather than reading may have helped that for me.
An solid first novel for Ms Schultz. If a good book leaves you wanting more in a good way, this one is a success! Although I can finish the story in my own mind, I'm hoping for a sequel to see where the author wants to take us. if she does, I'm along for the ride!
