Regina Scott takes historial information specific to the women's suffragate movement and makes it personal in the story of Coraline Baxter. Coraline is a young woman whose mother values social standing to be of the utmost importance. As Coraline valiantly tries to make her own path the reader sees how many obstacles stand in her way. The way women were expected to dress or not dress. Their speech, their mannerisms, their attitudes towards father, husbands, etc. And above all the idea that a daughter must bow to her paarents wishes in all things and then do the same with her husband. Coraline struggles with the idea of these social norms, her own dreams and ideas and what God would have her do.
I received this from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
