Moving in together into a grand hotel in Belton, Texas, that they’d turn into a wildly profitable enterprise, the forty-odd members of the Woman’s Commonwealth would soon find themselves both local pariahs and international celebrities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The decades to come would not be easy. They had violent husbands, jealous neighbors, wayward daughters, and embittered sons. They would be shot at, institutionalized, and mocked. But rather than seek to change a hostile society, their goal was simple: to create a better one for their little community, one that left them free to pursue their own quotidian joys.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lyrically written and bursting with humor, wisdom, and love, \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e weaves the tenderness of \u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e and the irreverence of \u003ci\u003eAll Fours\u003c\/i\u003e into an intimate, often astonishing story of three generations of mothers imagining a different kind of life for themselves and their daughters in a world without men.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":60380738158878,"sku":"9781982158729","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/8436\/0222\/files\/9781982158729.jpg?v=1792457879","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonandschuster.com\/products\/9781982158729","provider":"Simon and Schuster","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
