Mother's Day in the Empire State, Or An Answers to the Arraignment of Women
Drawing inspiration from the original intent of Mother's Day by Anna Jarvis in 1906 as an antiwar holiday, the novel challenges the sentimentalized view of motherhood propagated by modern society. The novel provides a raw unflinching look at the challenges faced by American children today. Set in the fictional town of Allegheny in the New York Empire State, Connie Munda (a mother and veteran military officer turned Child Protection Services officer) investigates two grandmothers accused of child abuse.
