The Twelve Tribes of Hattie
Fifteen years old and hoping for a better life, Hattie Shepherd leaves the American South for Philadelphia. Hattie’s tale of strength and resilience spans six decades. Her American dream is crumbling: a husband who cheats and nine children raised in a cramped little house. She keeps the children alive but has no energy to give them the affection they crave. All she can do is feed and clothe them, and prepare them for a world she knows to be cruel.
