In All Good Faith : A Novel
Booklist

May Craig and Dorrit Sykes have nothing in common. May is a well-off wife and mother who helps run the family farm and business. Dorrit is a shy teenager, living in a cramped Boston tenement with her father Roy and older brother. However, the summer of 1932 finds them and the rest of the nation struggling. For May, the family businesses are barely holding on. While they are lucky that May's husband gets a job in DC, it does mean he will be away from their family during the week. Roy is a WWI veteran who, like many veterans that summer, travels to Washington to pressure Hoover and Congress for early payment of war bonuses. He takes Dorrit with him, starting a chain of events that changes everyone's lives. In this stand-alone sequel to her first novel, Etiquette for Runaways (2020), Taylor delivers a well-researched and deftly written historical fiction novel. The Bonus March is not often covered in historical fiction and Taylor brings to life the desperation of those veterans. Both May and Dorrit pop off the page and their dual narratives shine a light on the struggles women faced during the Great Depression. Highly recommended for all libraries.
