Sinopsis

Richmond, Indiana, 1967. From her adolescence, America Corydon has battled her overbearing father and societal expectations, and the eccentricity within her own mind.
 
Manipulating her cousin Asher, she opens the door to a lifetime of broken relationships, grief and an enduring but conflicted love. Together with their friends, Esther and Kay, young America endures two world wars, the Great Depression and other seismic events that defined a generation. Through it all, the four cling to each other, their bond offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
 
Historically authentic and deeply emotional, Mary Ellen Donat's IN THE SHADOW OF HER HAT is an exploration of identity, universal prejudices, and conflicting social values. Astonishing twists throughout the novel culminate in a surprising outcome that will leave readers breathlessly satisfied.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    A community of Black faith healers witness an event that will change their lives forever in this "hard-nosed, wise, funny" novel (Los Angeles Times). 
     
      
     
    Set in a fictional city in the American South, the novel also "inhabits the nonlinear, sacred space and sacred time of traditional African religion” (The New York Times Book Review). 
     
     
     
    Though they all united in their search for the healing properties of salt, some of them are centered, some are off-balance; some are frightened, and some are daring. From the men who live off welfare women to the mud mothers who carry their children in their hides, the novel brilliantly explores the narcissistic aspect of despair and the tremendous responsibility that comes with physical, spiritual, and mental well-being.
