Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All - by Laura Ruby

This is a heart-wrenching tale of two young women living in Chicago during WWII, one alive and one dead, dealing with loss, desire, and the fragility of the American dream.

Frankie's mother died, leaving her and her siblings at an orphanage, only to be abandoned when their father arrives with a new woman on his arm and out-of-state train tickets in his pocket.

Now, Frankie must find something worth holding on to in the ruins of this shattered America, every minute of every day spent wondering if the life she's able to carve out will be enough.

Will you join Frankie on her journey?
