The Crooked Branch explores motherhood, holding onto sanity as life adjusts with a new baby, tilling into that always rich ground of mothers and daughters. Beginning in the famine of Ireland and ending in present-day New York, the story gathers momentum and weight as it unfolds, like watching a freight train thunder along the rails filled with the priceless things of life. As heartbreaking as it is heartening, the story of mothers and what they will do for their babies, touches all the tender places with exquisite timing. Jeanine Cummins is such a good writer. Can't wait to read what she writes next! Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Solomon's Oak and Finding Casey
What an entertaining and moving novel! Though I ve long known my own ancestors left Ireland because of the devastating potato famine, I never knew much about the history until now. Cummins begins with the utterly relatable Majella, a witty New Yorker struggling with new motherhood and its secret isolation; and sweeps us across the ocean and through time to Ginny, a desperate Irish mother doing her best to support her family. Cummins weaves an exploration of the fierce, primal love of motherhood that connects us all through generations. Margaret Dilloway, author of How to Be an American Housewife
Jeanine Cummins knows that there are stories beneath the stories, and she uses this brilliant knowing to weave a tale that is lyrical, emotional and often funny. This extraordinary novel reminds us how motherhood can make us feel as though we are coming undone while also being remade. Majella and Ginny navigate motherhood with a fierce love that propels the story forward with intense strength. Brilliant, vulnerable and intense, The Crooked Branch pierced my heart and paused my breath. Patti Callahan Henry, author of Coming Up for Air and Driftwood Summer
Exploring the effect of a secret from the past on a woman who is truly on the edge of motherhood, of her future, of sanity, of happiness Jeanine Cummins has written a story that truly resonates. Insightful, suspenseful, and sometimes bitingly funny, with characters the reader will think about for weeks, this bittersweet novel is emotional and immensely satisfying. Simone St. James, author of An Inquiry into Love and Death
The Crooked Branch is a haunting tale of motherhood and the ways in which it can ravage and resurrect. Cummins's vivid prose and compelling story are burned in my heart. Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott and In Need of a Good Wife
The Crooked Branch is a gorgeous, sweeping novel, equal parts harrowing and hilarious, that grips you from the first page and keeps you in its thrall. Two wildly different stories a new mother in present-day Queens, a woman struggling to survive and feed her children during the Irish famine are beautifully woven together, bound by a ferocious mother s love that echoes across generations. Carolyn Turgeon, author of Godmother
