The Patron Saint of Liars

By Ann Patchett

About This Book

At St. Elizabeth's, a sanctuary for unwed mothers in the 1960s, life is a delicate balance between hope and heartache. Among the women who arrive is Rose, a captivating and enigmatic figure who isn't just expecting; she's caught in a struggle between duty and desire. Her journey unfolds against the backdrop of a healing spring, where she confronts the profound connection to her baby and the life she envisions—one that challenges her intent to let go.

As Rose grapples with her decision to relinquish her child, she faces the emotional turmoil of what it truly means to become a mother. The stakes heighten as her time at St. Elizabeth's dwindles, forcing her to confront her past and the future she yearns for. With every passing moment, the choice becomes a reflection of who she is and who she hopes to be, transforming her in ways she never anticipates.
