A powerfully narrated, stalwart story

Paul Malone is a native Texas writer and visual artist. This House Of Women is his novel about the courageous heroine Hannah Hayward. She was pregnant at nineteen in 1942 as the man she loved went off to war. We follow her journey to forge a life for herself and her offspring through the decades of Texas history. This House Of Women is a powerfully narrated, stalwart story rife with emotion and full of life. Highly recommended.
