In the summer of 1878, the Ludwig Zirkus arrives on Nordstrand in Germany, to the delight of the island's people. But after the show, a Hundred-Year Wave roars from the Nordsee and claims three young children. Three mothers are on the beach when it happens: Lotte, whose children are lost; Sabine, a Zirkus seamstress with her grown daughter; and Tilli, just a girl herself, who will give birth later that day at St. Margaret's Home for Pregnant Girls. After the tragedy, Lotte's husband escapes with the Zirkus, while she loses the will to care for their surviving son. Tilli steps in, bonding with him in a way she isn't allowed to with her own baby, taken away at birth. Sabine, struggling to keep her childlike daughter safe in the world, forms a complicated friendship with Lotte. But the mothers' fragile trio is threatened when Lotte and her husband hatch a dangerous plan to reunite their family, and Tilli and Sabine must try to find a way to pull them back to reality. As full of joy and beauty as it is of pain, and told with the luminous power that has made Ursula Hegi a beloved bestselling author for decades, The Patron Saint of Pregnant Girls is a shining testament to the ways in which women hold each other up in the most unexpected of circumstances. A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books "Mesmerizing...Hegi's command of the plot and ability to render poignant characters create a satisfyingly emotional story. Hegi's fans and devotees of literary fiction will treasure this." — Publishers Weekly 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 208320 KB). 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Dawe, Angela. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/4824347 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1493-1/ %7BDD29DF69-0656-4003-8237-AC26E3C93B34%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1493-1/ %7BDD29DF69-0656-4003-8237-AC26E3C93B34%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
