Violet Mayhew is a proper young lady—
who’s on the run from her parents.
The Hope Chest
KAREN SCHWABACH
VIOLET’S OLDER SISTER Chloe didn’t get married. She bought a car
instead. And then she drove that car to New York City and never came
home again. Violet’s parents said Chloe had turned into the Wrong Sort of
Person, but Violet knew better. Now she’s determined to find her sister, and
she’ll go all the way to New York City to do it. The only problem is that
Chloe’s not in New York anymore. So Violet must journey even further to
Tennessee, where Chloe is fighting for the vote for women. Nashville is a
hotbed of political intrigue. Suffs and Antis are doing anything and
everything to sway legislators to their side: bribing them, pleading with
them, and even kidnapping them. Violet is hanging out with suffragists,
socialists, and colored people. But if she’s becoming the Wrong Sort of
Person, why does it feel just right?
Karen Schwabach has been voting since 1984. She lived in Alaska for many
years, but did not find it necessary to change her name. A Pickpocket’s Tale was
her fiction debut, and The Hope Chest is her second novel. She lives in Winston-
Salem, North Carolina.
